The increased frequency of marijuana use is contributing to a rise in psychosis cases, particularly among adolescents. Doctors and recent research suggest that a consequence of widespread legalization efforts in the U.S. is the more frequent use of highly potent marijuana strains, which in turn is resulting in a rise in psychotic episodes and related disorders. And among those who develop more severe psychiatric disorders related to cannabis use, 16-25-year-olds were most at risk. While cannabis alone cannot be blamed, extensive research has shown a strong connection between frequent and potent cannabis use and increased rates of psychosis and paranoia among young people. YPulse data shows more than half of young people 21+ are using marijuana at least monthly, and it’s the drug they consider the least risky to their health. (WSJ)
