Potent Cannabis raises risk of anxiety and addiction, study shows

Today’s high potency weed raises risk of anxiety and addiction, study says

If you’re thinking of returning to the weed of your youth to ease the strain of the pandemic, you will soon discover a potent truth — today’s weed is nothing like yesterday’s.

Use of weed of any strength has been linked to mental health disorders, and lab experiments have shown that higher does of THC can cause greater memory impairment and temporary psychotic-like symptoms. But few studies have examined how potency levels may affect behavior in real-world populations.

A new study, published Wednesday in the journal JAMA Psychiatry, surveyed more than 1,000 UK residents who reported marijuana use in the past year. The study found high-potency weed users appear to have a significant increase in the likelihood of developing generalized anxiety disorder than those who smoke less robust strains of marijuana.

In addition, high-potency weed users are more likely to use weed at least once a week, twice as likely to have used illicit drugs within the past 12 months, and more than three times as likely to be tobacco smokers, according to the study which was published Wednesday in the journal JAMA Psychiatry.

The study:

Users of high-potency cannabis four times more likely to report associated problems

Users of high-potency cannabis are four times more likely to report associated problems, and twice as likely to report anxiety disorder, than users of lower-potency strains, according to new research from the University of Bristol.

It eases my anxiety and depression amazingly well.

:ura_idiot:

I'm off to enjoy the sun so have your fun!..

OP..you've taken a rift of shit on here, so kudos for sticking to your story.

Personally, I had never read your threads thinking you were just another run of the mill glp asshole trying to make your 3.50...but there are two facts which support your contention:

1) The shit I smoked in college back in the 70s was nothing like what is circulating today. It's not "stronger" per se...but it is certainly DIFFERENT.

2) Increasing THC decreases CBD. I do not think that is a good idea at all. A lot of people don't smoke because it does induce paranoia. Israel is heavily involved in cannabis research as are other entities.

The cover story is that bankrupt states are legalizing for the tax income, but it could also be part of a larger agenda of behavior modification/docile population.

Cannabis is no doubt involved in genetic modification, an area of concern.

Bottom line, I don't think you are just blowing smoke.

ckp is retarded but posting scientific studies is not trolling

It's getting better, not worse, as more money is involved.
Getting higher CBD and THC. The higher CBD decreases the negative side effects of the higher THC. Lots of other cannabinoids getting higher percentages as well.

This. Turns out the “high” is even better when using all together.

So the less potent Mexican swag is safer....

Get off the Oxy and PCP shitface.....


As an aside I have smoked pretty much everyday for the past 52 years,so I am more than qualified to comment.
The Thai Bhudda Sticks from the seventies far excelled the hydro shit that does the rounds these days and I would give my left tit to get some of that shit here in Oz for a god damned change.

Oh...and you sound like a right twat.

yes please go do that. you definitely need some vitamin D for your mood swings.

This!

Plus something happens that changes a user’s personality, they become confrontational in their whole perspective of life. They could maybe study the driving, for instance while not under the influence they are prone to road rage. The blame everyone else disposition even in a car.
