DENVER (MainStreet) — It's something Colorado's legalized marijuana industry did not want to see: a college student tried a cannabis edible product and inexplicably jumped to his death. ...

"There is a groundswell building to repeal it," he said. "It's going to continue to lose support because there are going to be more harms coming from it, large and small." ...

"Increasingly, we are contacted by parents, desperate to learn more," he writes on his blog. "Their typical and tragic messages go something like this: "We never knew. We thought marijuana wasn't even addictive and that it was less harmful than alcohol. Why did nobody tell us?"

...

Anecdotally, there've been a handful of exceptionally violent crimes in the news committed by known marijuana users having what appear to be psychotic episodes.

If you can count an “out of body” experience as psychosis then I can attest to that. That was over 30 years ago and no where near the potency of weed today.

Does Marijuana Induce Psychosis?

Considering libs smoke most of it, evidence would seem to suggest Yes!

I can’t tell you the number of times I was stoned
and wanted to bite someone’s face off, it never
happened.

Munchies, yes.
Faces no.
Beavers heck yes.

Psychosis and more...

Personally, I usually end up jumpin' around all nimbly bimbly from tree to tree.
And drinking milk from a saucer.
