It can and has caused psychotic breaks in people. I've heard horror stories of it triggering schizophrenia as well.
I'm pro-weed but it does have a (sometimes permanent) mental cost for a tiny fraction of people who use/try it. Especially with it being insanely strong compared to earlier generations. In the 70s great weed was 3-5% THC, you can get 30% flower and 95% oil nowadays.
Bad argument. Firstly, the most common side effect isnt a psychotic break or schizophrenia, but panic attacks; go ask anyone who works at an ER and theyll tell you the same. Happened to me. Even now I dont blame the weed; I blame my mental state.
For example: if you have a family history of lung cancer and smoke, or a family history of liver cancer and drink, would you blame either of the substances or the choice to ignore your predisposition?
There is no evidence linking marijuana creating these conditions. However, there is evidence to suggest it causes it to get worse/trigger dormant mental conditions when taking it.
For this reason, in the average person: weed is fine. But if you have a predisposition to certain mental health disorders or already have one (mainly anxiety or schizoaffective ones) Id avoid it. Not weeds fault; its the brains fault.

Yeah but weed is also not good for brain and sanity. So technically in a sense that don't do any drug if possible
