Argh, this is an annoying, seemingly politically motivated report. The relationship between common cannabinoids and psychosis is already quite well understood.

Argh, this is an annoying, seemingly politically motivated report.
The relationship between common cannabinoids and psychosis is already quite well understood.
At large enough doses, THC is psychotic and CBD is antipsychotic (likely CBG too), so much so that CBD is used to treat positive schizotypal symptoms.
E.g. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/51146763_Cannabis_with_high_cannabidiol_content_is_associated_with_fewer_psychotic_experiences https://www.researchgate.net/publication/51146763_Cannabis_w... and multiple studies
I hate seeing science abused for political reasons, and this study is ripe for that.
Why doesn't the study talk about the reason those high THC strains are so popular in the first place? That to me is the real tragedy. Ultra high THC strains are the "moonshine with too much head" of cannabis prohibition.
