That might be a little too much for you to understand. People who are predisposed to psychosis might also be predisposed to drug use. [/quote] Well, if it wasn't the cannabis, what else was it? It was her first and second time smoking it. My siblings grow it for a living so I know it's pure. Furthermore, she's been with me for a couple of years so I'm certain she's not on any other meds that could've interfeird. She despises taking anything pharmaceutical. She's been an RN for over 15 years, so she is responsible and I have no reason to doubt her. So, there you go. Now, why did you attempt to insult my intelligence? Might it be because your argument is weak? Where's your evidence? Links? You make the claim that it's been debunked. You have zero idea of who I am and what I'm capable of understanding. At least I have anecdotal evidence. You have none. [/quote] Look up legal weed K2, spike, it kind of sounds like it. Smells similar but had very different mental effects. No thc involved. [/quote]

Super-strength cannabis flooding the streets of London is helping drive psychosis rates there to the highest levels recorded in Europe.
A major new study has found that smoking powerful strains like skunk every day made people five times more likely to develop mental health problems.
Nearly a third of cases recorded in south east London hospitals were linked to people smoking these powerful drugs, which now make up 94 per cent of the cannabis sold in the city.
Doctors warned that with hospitals already lacking resources for mental health provision, cannabis smoking was placing an enormous burden on the city’s strained psychiatric units.
