Especially since all the weed is much higher potency than in previous decades (14% THC vs 3% in 60's) and high potency weed has lower levels than normal of CBD (which is actually a protective component), it is much more likely to cause these episodes in predisposed individuals. The problem is you don't know who is predisposed a head of time (although young late teens black males are higher risk).

I used to think it should be legal everywhere, and I think it should be much better studied than it is, but I don't think it should be available recreationally. CBD appears to have some actual use, I don't think that THC has any tho.

It's hard to not be anecdotal, given that cannabis's designation as a Schedule I substance has limited scientific studies, but your numbers are off. The herb I used to get was between 20 - 25% THC, but now I get oil from a certified medical dispensary that is 99% THC. I use it less often, in smaller "draws", and the symptoms I treat have become non-existent.

Believe me, I'd love to take part in a study, because my experience has been remarkable. My other personality agrees.
