I just did a cursory review of some papers, and it seems like cannabis can induce psychosis. It looks like there's somewhere around 1.5-2.5x increased chance of psychosis diagnosis for cannabis consumers, although age and family history of schizophrenia matter. From the NIH site on psychosis[0], about 3% of the US population in their lifetime[1]. About 100k adolescents annually have an episode. For comparison, alcohol induced psychosis is common. Dependent alcoholics men face an 8x increase in risk; women see a 3x increase.[2] [0] https://www.nimh.nih.gov/health/topics/schizophrenia/raise/raise-questions-and-answers.shtml#3 https://www.nimh.nih.gov/health/topics/schizophrenia/raise/r... [1] worth noting that psychosis is not a "permanent" condition. [2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Substance-induced_psychosis https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Substance-induced_psychosis
