>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'.

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.

Weed and shrooms are the only two drugs I don't personally take a hard ball stance on. I grew up around users and dealers, and have seen first hand the effects of both. If the government wants to get into the game with them, good luck on it. If they'd done it right, they could have cornered the market like they did with alcohol. But they got greedy, and didn't know what the fuck they were doing.

And don't even get me started on all this CBD shit that has flooded the market.

Yeah, I tend to agree with that. I have known a lot of users not so much dealers. I was never into it but it was around. The harder stuff should be avoided entirely (in my opinion).
