[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This has been discussed a LOT in this board.  There are tons of studies showing a 5x increased risk of psychosis, for instance, particularly in young men.  I’m seeing a ton more psychotic men on the street now versus what I saw 10, 20, 30 years ago— I don’t know whether it’s the MJ or the fentanyl but it’s really noticeable.

I was vaguely ambivalent about pot until the last couple of years and now I think it’s really dangerous.  I’ve really stressed to my teens to avoid it — I’d much rather they have a beer or a hard seltzer—we know exactly what’s in that and humans have had thousands of years to figure out how alcohol affects the body.

+1 Cannabis-induced psychosis is insidious because so many people think "it's just weed". Cannabis detox can cause all kinds of emotional fallout, including a spectrum of upset that runs from irritability to outright rage. If people don't know to anticipate that rebound, they tend to just act out on their emotions, and the consequences to relationships, and even random encounters with strangers, can be deeply problematic.

Like most addicts, people who have a cannabis use issue don't often know it, and aren't particularly open to considering the possibility. At least, when it's booze or opiates or the like, there's cultural awareness of the potential for problems, including addiction.[/quote]

Clearly evidenced by this post that so many of you have no idea what you’re talking about. You hold certain biases without any scientific evidence to support it.

As do you. You're on this thread, telling everyone to prove it to you (so you don't have to look it up yourself), and then claiming a contrary position but offering ZERO scientific evidence to back it.

You're a contrarian troll, and probably an addict. Nobody fights this hard for their drug of choice if they can put it down without trouble.[/quote]
