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

I strongly disagree with that view. The stronger the strain, the less you have to smoke or vape to get a desired effect. Smoking, in particular, has well-documented side effects, including COPD.
Your beliefs about the psychopharmacology of THC and CBD are simplistic. The actual mechanisms (and number of different cannabinoids involved) are far more complex.
Go ahead and choose the strength that suits you, but don’t presume that gives you the right to impose that choice on others.
I second your position. I’m a recreational user, but my girlfriend has chronic pain and a medical card. If we take the same dosage, I can be halfway to my limit while she’s only just starting to feel a high. If only low-potency cannabis were available, I can’t imagine the dosages she’d have to consume. If it were too weak, it wouldn’t be an option for her at all.
At least with high-potency cannabis, she is able to avoid opioids, which would be far more dangerous for her.
