> If you experience that paranoia and keep smoking on a regular basis nonetheless—especially with today’s high-potency THC products, and especially if you’re young—there’s a good chance you’ll eventually suffer a full psychotic break; 35% of young people who experience psychotic symptoms, according to another study, eventually have such an episode.

This is such a crappy article. This reads like "You experienced paranoia, you're going to have a psychotic break", but all these articles and studies are people who already have pointers towards instability, or addictive struggles.

I'm having a really really hard time believing this is more addictive than opioids.

Agreed on the crappy part.

But proponents (including myself) do need to acknowledge that there are legitimate concerns with abuse and the possibility of harm to certain individuals.

I advocate for the legalization of all drugs, but that has concerns too. That doesn't mean it shouldn't happen, just that there are negatives to address as well.

Don't believe it, it ain't true.
