MARIJUANA DANGEROUS TO MENTAL HEALTH

What's understated is the potential major negative health effects,
particularly in connection with developing brains (into the middle
20s), such as permanently impairing brain functioning and cognition
and increasing the likelihood of serious psychotic disorders like
schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and paranoia. Is severely damaging the
health of our nation's youth and causing major injury to society worth
tax revenue and income to the self-serving marijuana industry?
