High potency cannabis, especially when used daily, is "strongly linked" to the risk of developing psychotic disorders such as schizophrenia and paranoia, scientists said Wednesday.
In Amsterdam and London—where high-THC marijuana has long been the rule rather than the exception—50 and 30 percent of new psychosis cases, respectively, were associated with potent
The findings, reported The Lancet, bolster a growing body of research connecting pot 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, delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), have risen four- or five-fold.
First off, I'm all for the legalization of marijuana and many other drugs. I think drug addiction is a serious problem and should be treated medically instead of arresting these folks for a crime. However, this news story is concerning to me and we made need some regulations on the potency of marijuana because it have been increasing dramatically over the last 10 years. A lot of older American that smoked marijuana 10, 20 or 30 years ago think smoking marijuana back then was no big deal but they have no clue the strength of marijuana being smoked today.
We all know that eating or drinking to much alcohol can lead to health problems, heck even to much Vitamin D is bad for you so it makes sense to me that a high percentage of THC in marijuana can lead to health problems. I'm not to familiar with the rules and regulations on marijuana in every state but I would hope that all states require legal marijuana stores to post the potency of their different kinds of marijuana and maybe even warn customers of the dangers of smoking a high potency plant can do to your health.
Like I said before I'm not against marijuana but people need to understand the risks and realise the marijuana today isn't the same marijuana you smoked years ago.
