Recent reports from The Wall Street Journal and various individuals highlight the increasing rates of psychosis among teenagers and young adults due to the use of more potent and frequent marijuana. The cannabis available today is significantly more potent than that from previous decades, leading to psychotic episodes in young individuals. The normalization and legalization of recreational marijuana have raised concerns about its impact on mental health, with addiction psychiatrists and doctors emphasizing the risks associated with the current potency of cannabis. The FDA and HHS are considering rescheduling marijuana to a lower classification to address public health and safety concerns.
