>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'.

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.
