    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.

      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.
