    Everyone saying that cannabis induced psychosis is fearmongering or does not exist is unfortunately wrong. Especially for a vulnerable subgroup the risk is definitely there. There are a multitude of studies on the subject, eg this (nature) one. Also check out the cited papers or look for cannabis psychosis in any medical database yourself. Alot of good info out there. The chance it will happen to the average consumer is quite low, after all it is one of the safest drugs out there, if consumed the right way. Thou saying cannabis induced psychosis does not exist is just plain misinformation.

      An acquaintance of mine got high and went batshit insane till he fell asleep. It was scary. The kid had a lot of family issues. He basically jumped up and started attacking a friend of mine wildly, and wouldn’t stop. There was so much of his hair in the clenched fists of the attacker. It definitely exists, but is really rare that it happens.
