Cannabis & Psychosis 🧠 👉👉"Daily use and high-potency THC increase psychosis risk in a dose-dependent manner. (More is worse.) 👉👉Cannabis use is consistently associated with an increased risk of psychosis and with exacerbations of psychotic symptoms in both healthy individuals and people with psychotic disorders. 👉👉Cannabis may influence not only the risk and clinical expression of psychosis, but also its timing across the lifespan." psychologytoday.com/us/blog/…
