More Teens Who Use Marijuana Are Suffering from Psychosis

I saw this in the 80s when I worked in a psyche ward. Also knew people in college this happened to. Not a new thing just worse with more potent pot. People downplay these things but I wouldn't wish psychosis on my worst enemy.

I am not anti-legalization but marijuana is a drug and needs to respected as such. Legalization has enabled people to consume high amounts of THC frequently and we're seeing adverse effects from it.

Cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome was something unheard of a few years ago

The chart in this article shows it a bit, but CBD vs THC is a huge component of this. They are not only entirely different drugs, but they have opposite effects.

I'd recommend at least 5:1 CBD to THC for people who don't want any psychoactive effects. However I think many people do want those effects.
