High-THC Cannabis use strongly linked to psychotic disorders such as schizophrenia and paranoia, study finds

I suffered from pot induced psychosis . Not Fun. I smoked heavy from 17-23 and then that happened . I could sense something wasn’t right for a few days but I kept smoking and it induced psychosis . Some people though don’t have certain brain dispositions and can smoke heavy and never have psychosis .

OP...Another sad saturday stuck in doors making model castles out of hundreds of empty pill boxes.

Oh well...Only two hours till bedtime.

As much as people on here don’t like op . He posts facts. It can cause psychosis .

High potency cannabis, especially when used daily, is “strongly linked” to the risk of developing psychotic disorder

If high-THC cannabis – including strains such as “trainwreck”, “gorilla glue”, and “Hindu kush” – were no longer available, “12 per cent of cases of first-episode psychosis could be prevented across Europe”, the researchers calculated. In Amsterdam, the incidence of first-episode psychosis – the first time a person experiences psychotic symptoms – would likely drop from 38 to 19 per 100,000 people per year, while in London, the number of cases would decline from 46 to 32 per 100,000 people.

Trump must be smoking weed.

Duderte must be smoking weed.

Isn't it amazing how marijuana addicts hate facts?

I have been out by the sea and around town all day with the dogs.

It's 5:30pm now dumbass.

High potency cannabis, especially when used daily, is “strongly linked” to the risk of developing psychotic disorders such as schizophrenia and paranoia, scientists said.

In Amsterdam and London – where high-THC marijuana has long been the rule rather than the exception – 50 and 30 per cent of new psychosis cases, respectively, were associated with potent forms of the drug.

The findings, reported in medical journal The Lancet, bolster a growing body of research connecting pot use to a range of mental health disorders. With piecemeal legalisation and decriminalisation, consumption in North America and Europe has increased markedly over the last two decades, even as levels of the drug’s mind-bending molecule, known as tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), have risen four- or five-fold.

“The use of cannabis with a high concentration of THC has more harmful effects on mental health than the use of weaker forms,” said lead author Marta Di Forti, a professor at the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience at King’s College London. “Our findings also indicate for the first time how cannabis use affects the incidence of psychotic disorder at a population level.”

In 11 European cities or regions, one in five new cases of psychosis were associated with daily cannabis use, and one in 10 to high potency pot, the study found.

Driving? It's only 5 mins walk to the beach.
I only live in a small town.

like your dying junkie body that's been ravaged by decades of heavy opiate abuse could manage to walk 5 minutes


LOL

I can walk fine with a crutch, sometimes two if I am bad.

Us locals DO NOT park our cars anywhere near the beach/pier/town etc.

It's ripoff parking charges for the tourists.
