Cannabis-induced psychosis: Amid push for legalization, sister says brother 'was lost to us for a decade’
Fox News
Heidi Swan of Parents Opposed to Pot says lawmakers pushing the legalization of marijuana aren't talking about 'the physical side effects, the mental side effects and the increased problems to society,' including cannabis-induced psychosis.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., Senate Finance Chairman Ron Wyden, D-Ore., and Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., introduced a discussion draft last week for the Cannabis Administration and Opportunity Act, which aims to legalize marijuana at the federal level. The bill would treat marijuana much like alcohol or tobacco, allowing it to be taxed and regulated. Buyers must be at least 21 years old, and retail sales transactions would be limited to no more than 10 ounces of cannabis or the equivalent amount of any cannabis derivative. "What they want to legalize is ultra-high potency THC products," Swan, of California, told Fox News. "And then when you say that, people say, ‘What are you talking about? It's just marijuana.’ No, it's not just marijuana. This is a highly processed product."More Related News
