Cannabis related psychosis, addiction, ER visits soar: For young users, Marijuana can be a dangerous game

Cannabis-related psychosis, addiction, ER visits: For young users, marijuana can be a dangerous game

“A few years ago, it was rare to see a young person enter Caron with marijuana-induced psychosis,” said Garbely. “Now we see it on a regular basis. Older teens and young adults — approximately ages 18 to 26 — are the most impacted. We see a significant misperception about the safety and efficacy of marijuana among our teen and young adult patient population.”

While it was once doubted as an addictive substance, treatment professionals now say they are seeing more adolescents and young adults with cannabis use disorder. Often starting in their early teens, many graduate to daily use.

Today’s marijuana is not the reefer of the Woodstock generation or even the weed of the Grunge era. Over the decades, the amount of THC — the psychoactive compound in cannabis — has soared.

In-patient admissions have increased as well.

At Caron, patients who were admitted with a primary diagnosis of cannabis use disorder increased over 22% from 2014 to 2019. In those five years, people admitted to treatment for marijuana addiction rose from over 27% of Caron’s total admissions to nearly 40%.

Independence Blue Cross, the region’s largest health insurer, has seen claims for cannabis use disorder treatment rise substantially. Between 2012 and 2018, there was an 180% increase in marijuana treatment claims. That included a 100% claim rise for patients ages 19 to 25. Claims for adolescents requiring treatment went up 25% during the same period.

and proceed to run naked down the highway


only stopping your rampage for quick snacks....

the faces of innocent joggers passing by as you continue your cannabis fuelled murder spree.





days later youll come-to.


naked, in the woods. half eaten deer carcass laying next to you. youre cold, and covered in dried blood.


and you will wish you never did pot.

How many marijuana-related ODs we must have to you, cunts, realize this shit is as dangerous as heroin???

Kids are dying!!!

Maybe it is the unscrupulous people growing it that are adding LSD to the growing water hooking the young stupid teens on their fix . It is happening here in the uk with the Eastern Europeans who are growing it and doing great business with teens going crazy to get a smoke

A stoner

i dont become psychotic without cannabis i become bored and way too cerebral, my aspergers kicks into higher gear, clothes fabric feels weird, social interactions seem to take a hostile vibe. the world appears colder and dirtier.

ive concluded that its not even a real person.


its a social experiment to study us weed heads..


the character ckp has to be an intolerable dickhead, or else he wouldnt return any data.


see, us ganja enthusiasts have one weakness- its our pride towards the plant.


yes we have discovered a life optimizing plant and we enjoy its benefits


it also makes us appear to be arrogant dicks on the subject. i think that is what this spook is interested in, the emotional responses. i say just troll the troll.
