Teens have access to vastly more potent cannabis than their parents had at their age. Parents need to understand the risks, including psychosis

    The problem is, a bunch of people with very limited drug experience sharing their anecdotal stories isn’t evidence. It’s just a story.

      Yeah, I’m aware of that. We need more study and research, like I said. I’m very pro-weed (I’m smoking right now lol), but we can’t make reasonable conclusions about the level of risk involved in teen smoking yet. We just don’t know the full extent of any negative effects on developing brains.

      I think assessing risk based on consumption makes sense in terms of teens (and young adults too because their brains are still developing) being informed of the level of risk involved in how much they smoke, so that’s why I advocated for that.

      what would you consider extensive drug experience with cannabis, particularly in the context of minors as to be relevant to the study?

        I think that a scientific study would be a better place to start than anecdotes. Preferably one run by actual research professionals.
