Agreed - this is the biggest issue of cannabis legalization from a public health perspective, in my opinion. (I'm still for it, but with major safeguards in place). My brother developed acute schizophrenia after spending his late teens dabbling in psychedelics and smoking weed often, and I can't help but wonder if the absence of those triggers might have changed the course of the disease. Despite dabbling myself, if I ever have kids I'm going to try to make it clear to them what the stakes are for people with family histories like mine.
