Sure, marijuana is not as harmful as alcohol. Sure, no one died from weed. The director from the video says that moderation will be encouraged… yeah, can you imagine a store telling you – “no no sir, we don’t want more money from you, stop buying from us”. The reality is that when you go to a weed shop, you will see customers who smoke 24/7 and the “budtenders” will not encourage them to stop because they themselves are high all the time. Now it doesn’t take a smart person to realize that everyday use is harmful. Decline in mental health, just like with any drug is the result of everyday use. What are we doing to stop that?

Teenagers and young adults who use marijuana may be messing with their heads in ways they don’t intend.
Evidence is mounting that regular marijuana use increases the chance that a teenager will develop psychosis, a pattern of unusual thoughts or perceptions, such as believing the television is transmitting secret messages. It also increases the risk of developing schizophrenia, a disabling brain disorder that not only causes psychosis, but also problems concentrating and loss of emotional expression.
In one recent study that followed nearly 2,000 teenagers as they became young adults, young people who smoked marijuana at least five times were twice as likely to have developed psychosis over the next 10 years as those who didn’t smoke pot.
Another new paper concluded that early marijuana use could actually hasten the onset of psychosis by three years. Those most at risk are youths who already have a mother, father, or sibling with schizophrenia or some other psychotic disorder.
Young people with a parent or sibling affected by psychosis have a roughly one in 10 chance of developing the condition themselves—even if they never smoke pot. Regular marijuana use, however, doubles their risk—to a one in five chance of becoming psychotic.
In comparison, youths in families unaffected by psychosis have a 7 in 1,000 chance of developing it. If they smoke pot regularly, the risk doubles, to 14 in 1,000.
For years, now, experts have been sounding the alarm about a possible link between marijuana use and psychosis. One of the best-known studies followed nearly 50,000 young Swedish soldiers for 15 years. Those who had smoked marijuana at least once were more than twice as likely to develop schizophrenia as those who had never smoked pot. The heaviest users (who said they used marijuana more than 50 times) were six times as likely to develop schizophrenia as the nonsmokers.
So far, this research shows only an association between smoking pot and developing psychosis or schizophrenia later on. That’s not the same thing as saying that marijuana causes psychosis.
This is how research works. Years ago, scientists first noted an association between cigarette smoking and lung cancer. Only later were they able to figure out exactly how cigarette smoke damaged the lungs and other parts of the body, causing cancer and other diseases.
The research on marijuana and the brain is at a much earlier stage. We do know that THC, one of the active compounds in marijuana, stimulates the brain and triggers other chemical reactions that contribute to the drug’s psychological and physical effects.
But it’s not clear how marijuana use might lead to psychosis. One theory is that marijuana may interfere with normal brain development during the teenage years and young adulthood.
The teenage brain is still a work in progress. Between the teen years and the mid-20s, areas of the brain responsible for judgment and problem solving are still making connections with the emotional centers of the brain. Smoking marijuana may derail this process and so increase a young person’s vulnerability to psychotic thinking. (You can read more about how the adolescent brain develops in this article from the Harvard Mental Health Letter.)
While the research on marijuana and the mind has not yet connected all the dots, these new studies provide one more reason to caution young people against using marijuana—especially if they have a family member affected by schizophrenia or some other psychotic disorder. Although it may be a tough concept to explain to a teenager, the reward of a short-time high isn’t worth the long-term risk of psychosis or a disabling disorder like schizophrenia.
lauries zigzag man
brother arrested in can
aerosol spray pam
It’s kind of sad I still see people in other states being arrested for pot in 2020.
such a shame that marijuana is legal everywhere but not in the country where it originated
Lol the mayor definitely smoked it that night.
When oh when will I be able to fire up my bong again ?
Crackheads are creepy weed don’t do that to person
If you’re into real green then the electricity that these places suck out are going to blow your mind if the price is don’t I mean who thought being legal met the prices were going to shoot Sky High so much for medicinal right? This is a bubble
This magical plant should never have been made illegal anywhere on our beautiful planet!?! Look people if there is a god he or she put it here for us all to use!?! Tobacco should be illegal absolutely everywhere on our beautiful planet!?! All tobacco causes is horrible diseases that end up killing its users!?! It’s batshit crazy really!?!
he’s going to save it in his tummy the mayor of Who-ville living in a speck I hope they legalize it in Texas
It’s like they’re legalizing states all around the U.S. to make it easier for people to traficate the weed. 😃

Ice cream weed or alcohol which one you want lolol
Are the lines still long today???????????
That doctor needs her license revoked. Weed is probably the most studied illegal drug in the united states
People who disagree with marijuana are usually crackheads
Its safe. don’t let these non experienced people debating fool you. Think of all the hard earned money paying for enforcement that will never stop anyone or make any difference. What a TERRIBLE LOSS of YOUR tax money.
I love to see adults being able to use cannabis to relax rather than alcohol or cigarettes. Being able to purchase SAFELY and legally from the dispensary is the best! (21+)
🇺🇸 Love it. 😊 🌎
To be truthful pharmaceuticals companies are not for cannabis why it will shutdown there business
That lady hasn’t even done the research lmfao
Narcowitz lol
