Why would anyone be surprised when the running joke is that Pot makes you paranoid?

Archive: https://archive.today/WLdio

From the post: "Cannabis use may increase the risk of developing a new anxiety disorder or worsen existing anxiety, a large Ontario study suggests.

The study looked at health data of 12 million people between January 2008 and March 2019 and found that 27.5 per cent of people who visited an emergency room for cannabis use developed an anxiety disorder for the first time within three years.

Lead author Dr. Daniel Myran, an adjunct scientist at the research institute ICES, said that in comparison, 5.6 per cent of the general population sought help for anxiety in an ER or outpatient setting over three years."

said cannabis users may end up in an ER for multiple reasons, including hallucinations, being very high and disoriented or for withdrawal symptoms.

To get these symptoms, does someone need to smoke ounces? When I used it, it was only 10mg of edibles, and that just relaxed me, made me feel happy and good thoughts just flowed through me. Most of the time it never hit before I fell asleep, I just got a really good sleep out of it.

So I have to wonder if this story, being from a MSM site, and being completely different than any experience I ever had, is funded by some drug company who realized thay their profits are down because their customers are choosing weed over pharmaceuticals.
