The psychosis if from excessive amounts of cannabis. Turns out that you can get too high.

After the tort lobby criminalized opioids, going after everyone and his uncle (including pharmacies like Walgreens and CVS) for literally hundreds of billions of dollars assessed, to date, it’s clear that any CEO of a deep-pocketed corporation who dips his toes into the marijuana market is setting his company up for massive liability problems.

Drugs make crazy people more crazy, and stronger drugs make them crazier yet. Who knew?

“But lately I see a lot of people struggling to buy things in stores.”

I’ve never seen any of that except for elderly people who don’t know how to use plastic. MJ is legal here. I do think ultra high potency stuff is a real bad idea.

You can drink yourself into a ‘’wet brain’’ too. What’s the point?

“I started seeing people with the worst psychosis symptoms that I have ever seen,” she told me. “And the worst delusions I have ever seen.”

I would agree. Of course I have been seeing it for the past 30 years but it does seem to have gotten worse in the past decade.

And I am not referring to the people who consume mary-ja-wana. Although that probably is not helping.

This industrial strength THC will cause a lot of people to ruin their lives. Problem is that we have probably 300 million Americans who have had the idea that marijuana is harmless. Many will be harmed before this can be stopped.

Impossible for the government to do but Marxist professors could get the word out when not indoctrinating the youth.

I’m assuming that at least some of these fools are using cannabis.

That's a pretty big azz assumption. There's so many drugs out there. The lockdown alone caused depression and psychoses amongst kids through lack of social interaction. Too much tv. People are absolutely GLUED to their phones. I see old people in stores looking at their phones as well as the working clerks/cashiers/stockers that are on duty. I see distracted driving has almost become the norm. People drifting into other lanes. Not going when the light turns green. There's more here than just some pot. Who knows what that vaccine did to peoples brains?? If it causes blood clots . . well there's blood that's supposed to go the brain. This pot has been around for quite a while but these psychoses has escalated for the last two years by my observation.

Marijuana and much harder drugs are 100% legal in North Korea. You think there’s a reason for that?

Worked with cannabis psychosis often. A subset of users.

The is a psychedelic whether you like it or not.

Not in one sitting.

Wet brain takes years. Usually 50s and 60s
