Cases of Cannabis-Induced Psychosis Rise. Lawmakers Want to Add Mental Health Warnings to Pot Products
KQED ^ | 6/7/2022 | April Dembosky

Indeed, research confirms people who use cannabis are four times more likely to develop chronic psychosis, or schizophrenia, compared to people who don’t. For people who smoke every day or use higher potency products, the risk is up to six times higher. One study found eliminating marijuana use in adolescents would reduce global rates of schizophrenia by 10%.

Doctors and lawmakers in California want cannabis producers to warn consumers of this and other health risks on their package labels and in advertising, similar to requirements for cigarettes. They also want sellers to distribute health brochures to first-time customers outlining the risks cannabis poses to youth, drivers and those who are pregnant, especially for pot that has high concentrations of THC.

People with mental disorders are far more likely to vote for Democrats, as anyone can see.

My doctor prescribes it. I didn’t get any from him. Because I don’t like it.

Dope will get you through times of no money better than money will get you through times of no dope.

It was a long-term, multi-prong approach with cigarettes. The labels alone didn't do it. The cigarette advertising made it look cool and for winners. Banning ads was probably a lot more effective than package warnings.

The same will be required here. Probably the first thing that should be banned are cannabis billboards.

Remember when smoking was cool?

And who can forget "LS/MFT"?

Mix that with the psychotropic drugs the schools feed little boys to get them to sit still like good little Stepford Children, what do you policy geniuses expect?

he government had to start making it legal so they can find excuses to make it more expensive and regulated and then take it away.

So if you ever purchased or smoked (even of didn’t inhaleike Clinton), no guns for you.

They are saying bigotry is mental illness. And all who’s are bigots.

So called “common sense” gun laws McConnell and the demonrats are planning are gun confiscation plans

Any registry is a tyrannical tool.

Not even a little. What’s responsible for the mess we are in, is our inability to stop compromising, to be logical and not reactive, digging in the past instead of paying attention to what’s happening now, cognitive dissonance et al. The powers that be tweek our minds more than any drug ever could and do so most of the time with our consent.

I think it’s the reverse. People with mental illness self medicate.
