Again, strong selection bias, but yes. THC stays in your system for a long time. It can take a while to figure out if the issue is a primary psychotic disorder, like Schizophrenia, that has been exacerbated by THC or if it's only drug-induced. I occasionally see cases that appear to be completely accounted for by THC, but at a far lower rate than meth-induced psychosis.

I'm also curious, since you work in psychiatry....

Have you seen any cases of scromiting, or "Cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome"?

These articles showed up in a big online hit in mid-2022, and never seemingly referenced again. My pessimism indicated that it was likely a hit piece against cannabis, but I'd rather ask for sure than just assume some conspiracy.

Yes, I have seen it, but just a handful of times (single digits).
I had it multiple times as a daily smoker.
