Beloved,
I wish above all things that thou mayest ...be in health,...
3 John 1:2
"The number of Scottish cannabis users being hospitalized with
psychiatric issues has increased by 74 per cent since 2016, when the
drug was semi-decriminalized by Police Scotland. 
Professor Jonathan Chick, medical director of the
Castle Craig rehabilitation clinic in the Scottish Borders, was quoted
by the Post as saying that the patients he deals with suffer from
“dependence and psychosis....Often, where there has been a second or
third psychotic breakdown, there has been hospital or police involvement
because of incidents of self-harm or harm to others. These patients
have 
terrifying thoughts,” he explained. “It is a paranoid psychosis
where they can’t even go into the street without misinterpreting
thoroughly innocuous cues as malevolent. It is a horrible experience…
Sometimes the damage is permanent in which case the treatment for
schizophrenia involves living and working in safer environments and
medication – though there is no medication that doesn’t come without
effects such as weight increase, mental slowing and involuntary
movements,” he added, warning that “The eye has been taken off the ball
with cannabis....We’re still in the grip of this really worrying
narrative that cannabis is about peace, love and opening your mind with
no harm done,"..adding that the “cannabis myth has to
be challenged”.
The news comes as The Telegraph reports on research published in the peer-reviewed Journal of Clinical Psychology suggesting
that adolescents who consume even small quantities of cannabis may be
increasing their chances of developing schizophrenia sixfold.
McLean Hospital in Massachusetts, meanwhile, said that two-and-a-half
times more people are being admitted for cannabis-related psychosis in
areas where cannabis has been legalized."
