Cannabis Policy Fuels Psychosis, Experts Warn

Former prohibitionist policies have inadvertently escalated the potency of street cannabis, exacerbating psychosis risks for vulnerable individuals. This unintended consequence has made the problem worse, contrary to initial intentions. The current approach of limiting cannabis use has driven up the strength of illicit supplies.

However, groundbreaking data from the Drug Science T21 project and global prescription records suggest a different reality. These findings indicate that medical cannabis can effectively manage a spectrum of psychiatric and neurological disorders, crucially without inducing psychosis. This presents a promising alternative to current treatment paradigms.

Any suggestion to curb cannabis-related psychosis by restricting medical cannabis access is fundamentally flawed. Such measures would not only fail to address the root cause but would actively harm patients who are currently finding relief and treatment through regulated medical cannabis. Access to beneficial treatments should be maintained.
