Cue the FR pot proponents...
Teens should go back to smoking tobacco like a normal person instead of being a disgusting pot head.
Ah, but it is legal, so it must be safe and okay. /s
I had all that before I started smoking pot
Plus weed today is often cut stronger than yesteryears gone by.
I used to take pot and drugs in my teen years but today’s variety would scare me plus with fentanyl out there. Excessive weed use is for losers anyway.
I thought marijuana was perfect and a panacea, and it was illegal to insult it. May peace be upon it.
Older folks too have issues with cannabis:

The stuff now is crazy it’s 10 x stronger if not more.
I’m trying to remember when I didn’t know this.
It’s simple. Teenage brains are still developing. The brain is not fully developed until the mid 20’s.
Teens who smoke pot are at risk.
Far out, man.
What percent of the psychotic episodes involve edible marijuana, and not smoked marijuana?
Marijuana overdose is possible with edible weed.
When smoking, your blood THC level can reach saturation with just one or two bong hits.
Edible is widely available in most legal marijuana states.
Smoking ANYTHING inside a USA apartment building can get you instantly evicted.
I will speculate that many, and perhaps most psychotic episodes, involve edible marijuana.
Obviously.
We only have so many brain cells. Funny how we work so hard to kill them.
I’m glad that studies like this are being done, but I didn’t need the study to appreciate its truth. This stupid drug is insanely popular where I live (San Francisco), I’ve seen psychosis happen to users I know. Hell, nearly all the crazies who litter our streets smoke this crap all day long.
Hey, trust the science! Some yahoos publish some paid-for study that they arranged and some people STILL just eat it up like gospel. It’s like the COVID scam never happened.
The relationship between marijuana and psychosis in adolescence has been known for years. Dose related, and while still correlational, like circumstantial evidence, it is compelling. Beyond that, what possible good reason would anyone be able to give for teenagers to get high, on anything, while their brains are still maturing.
