A diagnosis of “drug-induced psychosis” as regards MJ most likely means someone ate a far too large dose of edibles and they are tripping balls. Not that they have suddenly acquired a permanent psychotic condition.
I notice he doesn’t actually INHALE, just holds the smoke in his mouth then puffs it out, if I was a doper I would say that is a waste of a good joint.
Nope. Never even smoked a cigarette.
I don’t generally believe people with agendas coming out with “studies” and “facts”. I also don’t generally believe the weed-loving fools either. MJ may not be addictive in the normal sense, but it sure is addictive in how it makes a person feel, and the MJ addict returns to that feeling again and again.
For my depression I tried some chewable cannabis. I was told it was suppose to calm you down, but I actually became MORE paranoid.
To regulate the potency of marijuana, it would first have to be legalized by the feds. So far the states that have legalized it haven’t seen fit to regulate it.
Of course it is. It's EXACTLY the same. Why, the next thing you know, those buzzkill Gladys Kravitz-types will be banning rock and roll.
Where's Kevin Bacon when you need him?
It's a fact.
You’re right, he’s puffing it like a cigar.
Who Dat?
Marijuana-Related Psychosis. This is why George Soros and the democrat party wants to legalize marijuana.
You have to be crazy to vote for democrats.
#14 Musk was smoking marijuana when he decided to buy Twitter.
Not to mention opioids have been great. Yeah no problems there.
It’s the concentrated THC edibles that are the problem. Kids and dogs are getting poisoned and adults are whacking out their brain chemistry.
As always, it’s the dose that makes a poison.
Opioids are practically non-existent. You might have a difference in attitude if you had severe pain in your life. The War on Drugs has been a disaster. I don’t smoke pot (bad for the lungs). I know people who do. Vets with PTSD and they say it helps who am I (or you) to judge? Opiates can alleviate pain in extreme instances. I’m thankful I’m not. You should be thankful you’re not. Medication should be between doctor and patient. Period. As far as the fentanyl/heroin ODs. Take the narcan off of the ambulances and let nature take its course when they OD.
These are not your typical cuttings/natural pollination or cross breeding. The commercial grade marijuana is specifically engineered for maximum THC levels, and for some reason to minimize the levels of CBD in the flowers (I can only guess that to accommodate the high THC the CBD is reduced).
If you purchase an edible type product it tells you on the package how much THC and CBD you will consume in each piece. If you buy the flower they too tell you how much THC is in the plant - but the user cannot possibly know how much they are consuming in each puff.
In any case I postulate that the lack of balance between the cannabinoids is the reason for higher incidence of psychosis. You need both the THC and CBD in balance. Otherwise you are overloading the neurotransmitters in the brain and the neuroreceptors cannot adapt. Causes that paranoia feeling in some people and if the authors of this study are correct, potentially bigger problems for some.

My dad suffered severe pain after an amputation and father-n-law with some sort of late-stage muscular degenerative ailment. Grown men turned in to whimpering babies because of pain. So sad to watch.
Their quality of life went to crap after the war on opiates. This is crazy. Here, take a Tylenol every four hours...good luck.
Opiates in the form of heroin and fentanyl pouring across the border.
Just like prohibition. Folks will figure out a way to get the substances they need and or want.
The stupid damn government scares the hell outta doctors for prescribing pain meds to those who really need them.
Not sure what the answer is, but letting people struggle and suffer in pain is definitely not the answer.
I’m seeing this with two family members. One goes off the rails while screaming and hissing....horrible.
More of the left doing what the left does....helping Satan by destroying lives and minds....
