>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.
