In actual scientific controlled studies an individual was proven 6 times more likely to develop psychosis if he has consumed cannabis more than 50 times. Just what we need, another 2 million lunatics running around loose.

I recall seeing studies like that, and as I recall they just found a correlation.  It was not a controlled experiment.
It may be that people with brains prone to psychosis are also the type of people that seek out marijuana and really enjoy it.
I inhaled pot vapor for an hour at a bar in Amsterdam.  Felt euphoric and confused for about 2 hours after.  And I had gummies in Vegas, that was a very different experience, probably a much lower dose.  The high was very subtle.  I wouldn't go out of my way to do either again. But some of the people I was with couldn't wait to do it again, and try more next time.
Like with alcohol, my personality is more to stay at about 1 or 2 drinks per hour and not stay at a bar or house party longer than about 4 hours. It stops being enjoyable if I go longer, but I always find myself with people who want to overdo it.
I do think that alcohol is also correlated to any number of bad social and health outcomes. I am for legalization of pot just like alcohol. Only for 21 and up. And strict labelling for potency, and inspection.
