Marijuana and psychosis: Real data, real bad
Christian Post ^ | April 4, 2019 | John Stonestreet and Roberto Rivera

Both groups were surveyed on a host of factors, including their use of marijuana and other drugs. The study’s authors concluded that “people who smoked marijuana on a daily basis were three times more likely to be diagnosed with psychosis compared with people who never used the drug. For those who used high-potency marijuana daily, the risk jumped to nearly five times."

didn't 'prescribe' anything specific

As I explained, they can't by federal alw.

rather 'suggested' she start with a low dosage and see if she found relief..and increase the dosage over a few weeks until she did. [...] So that reveals they really don't have all the data on usage and effect etc.

Or that they have enough data to know that effects vary significantly from person to person, so starting low is the prudent way to go. My doctor has raised the dosage of my blood pressure medication twice - is that somehow suspect?

There's the aspect which can't be measured. Notice how many people who aren't thinking about the issues we face? Their drone-like acceptance of what their side says they should believe is not normal for the human spirit. That lack of clear-headed objectivity....is it drug-related?

I don't have the time or energy to dislike people. But I don't enjoy being surrounded by people who don't want to think things out for themselves. And who don't think it's important to question the way things are.

Indeed - I've often suspected that at least some of the Reefer Madness hysterics are suffering from alcoholic wet-brain.

I think a lot of it is also internet/smartphone addiction.

“Folks can listen at the link to learn more if interested.”

Is it written anywhere? I’d much rather read than listen.

Was, not IS. That’s a little different.
