    Yall are sayin stuff like “learn about” and “detect” as if they got to just add that to their notes and continue on their day.

    Going from “might develop schizophrenia some day” to “inpatient for an episode right now” is a big difference.

    Every time you experience psychosis, it increases your chance of experiencing it again, independent of your previous risk. Each episode makes it more likely. Unfortunately drug induced can make it worse.

      Man it almost like there is a known correlation between alcohol and violence or something.

      Yeah there is sociatal harm and personal harm. Both alcohol and THC can be damaging in their own ways. Your point?

        Show me the studies proving that THC is even remotely close to as bad as alcohol for you, THC sure as shit isn’t going to kill your liver either!

          You’d have differ between public harm and self harm. Also you miss the point, both can be bad in different ways. The links of THC use under 25 leading to psychosis and trigger/cause early onset of schizophrenia are more than established. I won’t choose between liver cirrhosis and mental health problems because both ruin your life. You don’t need organ failure rot in a clinic or become homeless with schizophrenia and off yourself. I’ve seen both substances ruin lives and my country of residence has infinitely better, and free, mental health care.

            Sugar? What? I was talking about high dosages. Ever been so high you thought your heart was going to explode? That shit was terrifying.

            On sugar yes. Some people have even died from having too much sugar. Name one person who died from over dosing on thc.

            Lots of things can terrify you. Not all of them will kill you though.

                Please let me be as transparent as possible about this, I am a bud tender working in Canada, I sell legal cannabis to people right beside a liquor store. Cannabis has been legal up here for coming up on 10 years, and yet, I still haven’t seen any proof of what you are trying to say. So at the end of the day, please let the people who haven’t been allowed to research cannabis usage under prohibition research and report their findings.

                  What are my stated beliefs? That too much THC makes you paranoid? Is that crazy?

                      I don’t think people with schizophrenia will still be visiting your store. I am pro legalisation of cannabis, but the possible consequences should not be dismissed as propaganda.

                      For example: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30373388/ (https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6591882/)

                      Now I agree that you could assert, in the case of depression and anxiety, these results could mean someone is self-medicating for said mental problems, thus clouding the objectivity. But that is not the case with psychosis. Not at all. That is entirely correlated to cannabis (and my personal research concludes this has to do with an increase trend of higher THC contents of strain in the past 30 years. A joint in 1995 is a hell of a lot different experience compared to today’s strains [yes I know there are strains focussing on CBD or other cannabinoids like CBG etc. But let’s not compare apples and oranges. Take a strain from 1995 and today, picked with the sole reason of getting high, and today’s strains will have a lot higher THC contents])

                      Normally I dislike editorial pieces but this one refers to solid papers: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-link-between-cannabis-and-psychosis-in-teens-is-real/

                      I don’t think anyone in cluster A or B (some specific diagnoses of cluster C maybe) should be near drugs. And especially THC, because of its image (its just weed, it doesn’t cause any harm). A lot of people self-medicate. I don’t want to create an illusion of there not being any precautions needed. People who use shouldn’t Russian roulette and find out if they are on cluster a or b, very likely increase early onset of symptoms or maybe even trigger something as permanent as schizophrenia. Even a single psychosis with no follow up episodes can fuck your life up good.
