Same goes with my experience with people who drink alcohol, yet alcohol is considered to make people violent.

• Most of all, THC—the chemical in marijuana responsible for the drug’s high—can cause psychotic episodes. After decades of studies, scientists no longer seriously debate if marijuana causes psychosis. Psychosis brings violence, and cannabis-linked violence is spreading. In the four states that first legalized, murders have risen 25 percent since legalization, even more than the recent national increase. In Uruguay, which allowed retail sales in July 2017, murders have soared this year. Berenson’s reporting ranges from the London institute that is home to the scientists who helped prove the cannabis-psychosis link to the Colorado prison where a man now serves a thirty-year sentence after eating a THC-laced candy bar and killing his wife. He sticks to the facts, and they are devastating. With the US already gripped by one drug epidemic, this book will make readers reconsider if marijuana use is worth the risk. I am not saying that it is gospel, but it is worth thinking about critically. Not just "I like weed so Im going to get high all the time." Question is, do you actually need weed? Do you need weed on a more than 5 times a week, 2 times a week, once a month, a few times a year, ever?
