Wikipedia will be a much better source, but my understanding is that psychosis can be a temporary symptom, or it can be a permanent health condition that calls for medical treatment.
Psychoactive drugs like marijuana, mushrooms, LSD, etc. can trigger permanent psychotic health condition on people who have genetic traits predisposed to such conditions.
It’s like a genetic game of roulette whenever any of us smoke it-- it could be the beginning of a very difficult health condition to manage for the rest of our lives.
It’s disingenuous to group cannabis along with psilocybin and LSD. They are very different molecules, bond with different receptors in the brain and have very different medicinal and spiritual effects.
I’m not discounting these other medicines can have negative impacts on people, just that they are not the same.
Why this guy and not the other guy who’s asymptomatic? Ah, a “genetic predisposition.”
That doesn’t seem like a scientific explanation, more a Just So Story, or at best, a hypothesis. It might be true, but where’s the evidence?
This systematic review lists 12 studies that almost all concluded THC has a causative relationship with schizophrenia.
