Maybe it was dihydrogen monoxide that triggered the psychosis. He consumed that on the fateful day as well.

That’s not what the article says. “Doctors have diagnosed him with a psychotic disorder, brought on by using cannabis.”

Is that from a blood test or a doctor's guess?

LOL so now you are questioning his doctor’s diagnosis because it goes against your preferred theory that this could only ever happen to people already psychotic.

It is treatable if the patient doesn’t die first from suicide or an accident because they are delusional. My kid was lucky in that the first medication he was on worked for him but it does make him extremely tired and slow/flat the next day. It’s only a matter of time before he stops taking it and then who knows what’s next?

Locking people up wasn’t producing good outcomes.

Looking forward to the removal of marijuana from Schedule I in the very near future and the federal legalization, funding for research, availability for use as treatment with federal funding.

For people locked up for years for possessing an ounce.

Were you born in 2000?

Just google “the consequences and costs of marijuana prohibition“ if you’re truly this unaware.

It’s very simple. Marijuana (or more particularly, THC) should be controlled under the exact same laws and regulations as alcohol.

THC is not a danger free drug and neither is alcohol. Tens of thousands a year die directly from alcohol use - a great many of those are innocents who died because someone used alcohol and disobeyed the law.

But, THC is no more dangerous than alcohol.
So - regulate it and treat it exactly as you treat alcohol. Want to ban THC? Okay. Ban alcohol too. But, we have been down that road before.

I am pro-legalizationn (or at least decriminalization) but that doesn't mean I am in favor of the lack of regulation that is going on now. We don't have to go back to the days of locking people up, taking away their right to vote, making it almost impossible for them to get a job, etc. to tackle the problems we have with pot.
