Yes, marijuana can cause psychosis. It can also cause cognitive damage. Moreover, unlike alcohol, secondhand exposure is dangerous. If a parent smokes (or even the neighbor in the next apartment), they are putting their child at risk.
Here are a few links about the dangers: Cannabis use and the risk of developing a psychotic disorder https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC2424288/#:~:text=There%20is%20now%20reasonable%20evidence,characteristics%20and%20other%20drug%20use. Cannabis and Teens https://www.cdc.gov/cannabis/health-effects/cannabis-and-teens.html#:~:text=Increased%20risk%20of%20mental%20health%20issues.&text=2%20People%20who%20use%20cannabis,that%20aren't%20there). Secondhand marijuana smoke and kids https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/secondhand-marijuana-smoke-and-kids-2018060514012 Cannabis and Brain Health https://www.cdc.gov/cannabis/health-effects/brain-health.html Mount Sinai Researchers Report Significant Secondhand Marijuana Smoke Exposure In New York City Apartments https://health.mountsinai.org/blog/mount-sinai-researchers-report-significant-secondhand-marijuana-smoke-exposure-in-new-york-city-apartments/ Adverse Structural and Functional Effects of Marijuana on the Brain: Evidence Reviewed https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9954727/ Even though widespread legalization and the higher potency of modern marijuana may be relatively new factors and there should definitely be more research, I think existing research already supports the following conclusions: 1. Marijuana can cause neurological damage. 2. Developing brains are particularly vulnerable. 3. Secondhand smoke is dangerous to nonsmokers. Legalizing marijuana for recreational use was a tragic decision of epic proportions. While I do agree that it can have medical benefits, its use should be prescribed and administered in ways that don’t jeopardize the health of others, especially not children. We think we have problems now with a poorly educated populace and behavioral problems in schools - what do you expect to happen after we’ve raised a generation of brain-damaged kids? We are literally sacrificing our next generation (which is our future) to this generation’s drug habit. |

Keep going—no one needs to “study” you, it’s apparent you’re screwed up. |

| There seems to be one poster, probably a teenager, who is against everyone who posts anything in support of the OP. It’s unproductive and unconstructive to attack people personally. |

| This is accurate. It happened to my brother and it was terrifying. I used to smoke on occasion but don’t anymore |
