Yes. THC is anxiogenic and pro-psychotic in high enough doses. This is not controversial. And CBD is anti-psychotic and anxiolytic in high enough doses. Those doses vary by individual. But these are basic, general facts studied and acknowledged by cannabis researchers and advocates alike. This isn't some drug war propaganda. It's the result of research that was enabled by the legalization effort.

I've seen two peoples' [predisposition to?] schizophrenia catch up with them during times when they were smoking a lot of weed. I've also personally experienced high THC weed exacerbate my own mental health.
And I'd actually blame prohibition for producing all this high potency space weed coupled with an foolish assumption that "high potency is better because it's more bang for your buck." (If you can handle your space weed I'm not mad at you!) I'm extremely grateful to the people who worked so hard to make cannabis legal, because now we have people growing a variety of strains that work for everyone.
