okay
That doesn't happen in reality.
Used it since I was 16 and I only do the very best and I've been with hundreds upon hundreds of people who never have heard of such a thing.
You're perpetuating a falsehood that has pervaded our culture since the 40s... just stop.
Wow, stoners who justify their behavior and anecdotes as data. Totally legit.

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.
Scientific controlled studies by whom?
Long time smoker... recently quit using on and of my own free will without rehab or relapse or any issues.
Maintained a clean driving record and maintained the same job for close to 20 years.
Never had any issue with mental disease or psychotic episodes.
Where were these "studies" conducted. By whom were they conducted and to whom is now psychotic because of the studies?
We talking MKUltra type stuff? Or Pineapple Express Item 9 type stuff?
Lunatics? We have plenty of weed smokers out there. Legal ones, illegal ones... There isn't some mental health issue linked to marijuana.
Stop watching Reefer Madness like it's a documentary. Stop lying about stuff you know little to nothing about.
It's OK to not like it. It's even OK to not like the idea of it being legal or decriminalized.
But don't be a dummy.
What has been suggested is that minor children whose minds are still developing are "likely" to be more susceptible to mental disease "such as schizophrenia".
Nothing has be "proven" because there has been very little actual research into it.... because of the federal government.
The real reason isn't mental health (which alcohol is a far greater damage to, yet legal, everywhere). The reason lies in Big Pharma and their lobbyists. The textile industry and their lobbyists. And the private prison system in which the majority of occupants are non violent drug offenders.
Prescription drugs, alcohol, tobacco, all carry worse mental dependency than THC.
All carry physical dependency, in which THC has NONE. (Meaning there are no physical withdraw symptoms)
Caffeine and sugar are actually worse than THC in dependency issues. And sugar is more damaging to your body.
Good God... I respect people that have an abstaining personal view of THC. And it absolutely doesn't belong in the hands of minors (under 21, I say)
but the misinformation and straight lies about a substance that can help people medically cleaner and safer than opioids, can provide more paper than cutting down all the trees in the rainforest, also provides more O2 than most trees and also is a generally safer recreational drug than just about anything that can currently be legally consumed (smoking plant matter is still unhealthy for lungs and throat but vaporizing -not vaping liquids- and edibles are perfectly safe for adults to consume) is plain stupid.
"Stoners justify..."
Ya know wildly successful Bill Gates was a stoner.
Richard Branson, Ted Turner, Steve Jobs, Sergey Brin, Rick Steves.... plenty of successful billionaire CEOs haven't become mindless, violent, crazy psychopathic schizophrenics...
Idiots justify their narrow minded views with "facts" that aren't true ripped from the headlines of religious or uber conservative websites, magazines, and blogs.
With no real proof and no real scientific evidence you people attack an entire world of people while probably drinking your gin and tonic or smoking big fat cigars reading some version of the bible you believe to be the truth.
You just love believing lies.
Enjoy "heaven" you judgemental [BLEEP] hats.
