“With higher doses and with certain unstable or susceptible individuals, marijuana can produce extreme euphoria, hilarity, and overtalkativeness, but it can also produce intense anxiety and depression as well as delusions, hallucination, and other psychotic-like experiences. Evidenced suggests a strong relationship between daily marijuana use and the occurrence of psychotic symptoms (Raphael et al., 2005 = Comorbidity: Cannabis and complexity. J. Psychiat. Pract., 11(3), 161-76.)

Thanks for the hard facts! They don't sound "scared to death" - and "a strong relationship" doesn't mean that one causes the other.
Most users wouldn’t have this reaction, however, most people are responsible gun users.
Interesting comparison. What do you think we should do about those rare exceptions? Ban guns and marijuana for everyone?

Guns don’t cause physchosis- there is however a strong indication based o nthe facts that pot does- and it appears it not just in rare cases either-
