Personally know someone who began having psychotic episodes after using cannibis. Episodes stopped when stopped using.

We need to treat pot like we treat alcohol or tobacco. It’s dangerous. People shouldn’t be using it.

Your data is not representative, but your conclusion sounds reasonable to me. The fact that cannabis is forbidden while much more destructive drugs like alcohol are promoted in our culture is ridiculous. If only we treated cannabis the same we treat tobacco or alcohol :/.

The plural of anecdote is not data.

What if their psychosis was triggered by decades of drug war propaganda?

I only presented one anectdote, so why does the plural matter?
