Edible Marijuana > Smoking Marijuana. It's a lot more psychoactive. I don't know about the "becoming psychosis" from it though. It's certainly not for everybody. But you certainly DO have episodes. 

It honestly comes down to the strain. Which, again, is another good reason as to why it should be legalized that way consumers can actually determine which high they prefer. Which high they don't prefer. Etc. There's a lot of bunk and booty [BLEEP] being sold on the market that has god knows what in it. 

Synthetic [BLEEP] is not good for you. Some dealers may have bud that's been heavily dowsed in chemicals which hurts the strain and contents of what you're actually putting into your body. You could also be oversold a product. "This cartridge of oil contains 83.9% THC", etc. A lot of it's false. Your average medically cleared and graded dispensary is lucky to sell you anything with 20 - 30% THC content.

We'll see what happens though. I understand everyone's concerns. It's certainly not for everybody. But it's no worse than a cigarette, cigar, crack pipe and a few beers. I can find far worse "controlled" substances that are by and large completely legal and numerous studies have shown the adverse effects and long term effects of engaging in them.

I've taken 4 tabs of high grade LSD and not hallucinated. You just feel euphoric and colors are brighter and experiences are better.

Weed will never cause hallucinations. And edibles are not stronger. In fact, going through your metabolism weakens the effects.

Everyone is built differently. My sister used to drop LSD and had more hallucinations than not and they weren't always pretty. I hallucinate on something as strong as Ambien and something as weak as Trazadone. They are much stronger with Ambien but the result is the same. My husband takes Trazadone with no issues whatsoever. 

Some are predisposed to become addicts to  opiates and others are not. I can take opiates all day long and..... nothing, but give me a cigarette and I'll be addicted again- this time for life. My dad can't do opiates or he'll end up in rehab but he has no taste for cigarettes since quittung 30 years ago.

Just because something affects you a certain way doesn't mean it's that way for everyone.
