>Cannabis may be behind a surge in schizophrenia cases, alarming research suggested today. Advocates of the drug often purport that marijuana is safe because it is 'natural'. But Canadian researchers found new cases of schizophrenia triggered by cannabis have tripled since the country legalised the drug in 2015. In just under two decades, the figure rose from 4 per cent to over 10 per cent, the scientists said. Experts warned the findings show that using the drug also heavily worsens symptoms of the condition and that cannabis poses a 'growing public health challenge'.

Not saying weed smoking is safe or acceptable, however, they might wanna look at what the bud is being laced/treated with before saying that it's the marijuana itself causing it. There's a lot of shit that dealers can lace the product with (don't even get me started on vape cartridges) that can cause the results they're seeing

Apparently they are even putting fentanyl in it now too. Also, all of the Chinese illegal growers in the USA use banned pesticides that are very harmful.. especially when smoked.

I can tell you that "legal" weed is largely a failure in Oregon/Washington, and a partial failure in Colorado. The taxes are too high, and the product being sold typically too weak for the cost. The usual (read: dealers) avenues are still alive and well. As long as thats the case, anything can be in this shit.

There was a good lag in Colorado when it was made "legal" that people would go to the dispensaries and most of the "illegal" weed just disappeared. Then with the taxes people realized that it was way to expensive so they started going back to the "illegal" weed and now dispensaries are starting to go out of business.

I am hit or miss on the "legal" part since it has absolutely been a negative on the type of people that live in Colorado now but I am also for the government staying out of your business when it harms no one but yourself.

Eh, I'm dubious on if it's a failure in Washington. Tons of dispensaries popping up even now in my neck of the woods. Can't stand the smell, and it's all over the place. Clings to people, buildings, cars, fucking everything. Hate it.

I can't stand weed. The smell alone is enough to make my stomach turn over. But my friends from high school tried too hard to push me into it, even trying to rope me into helping their grow operation (which at the time wasn't legal) and harvesting it. Even when I said I didn't want any part of it, they kept trying to bring it up every month or so.

And then, for a short stint 2020 when I had an internship my boss kept trying to tell me about how good weed was and how I should totally try it for my anxiety because he swore up and down he and his wife were super high strung before they started smoking weed and having the edibles. This is also the same guy who had a bitch fit when I had to set the corner of a large bathroom wall mirror that we were taking out of a client's house (we installed a whole new mirror already) on my boot to readjust my grip and it slipped and cracked.

Things happen, but he was acting like I cost him a shit ton of money and I had done it on purpose.

There is a subset of people that have a condition that reacts violently to weed/THC you might be one of those people. Either way, I don't think it has any real benefit for the vast majority of people but like I said "you do you".

I've had those THC appetite inducer pills at the hospital way back in 2017 or 18 with no adverse effects, and I tried small doses of liquid THC for GI issues. No issues with either. The smell is just nasty, especially when people are detoxing it.

Response you get from weed smokers when you criticize it proves this study is legitimate.

Coke and heroin users are nowhere near as aggressive as "chill weed bros".

Probably also easily mentally reprogrammed.
