Psychosis and marijuana

Question

Asked for Male, 24 Years

I was wondering if psychosis is something which every stoner gets while smoking this recreational drug in limited quantity. I understand the effects it can have and read online, not everyone gets the same. It amplifies your feelings and sensations after which you start cooking up different stories in your mind. However, i have been smoking in a safe environment after work while making music with which it really helps. Also, if the same is so dangerous, why is it being legalized in developed countries for recreational use. Looking for your suggestion. PS: i smoke mostly the sativa strain.

Scientific literature have abundance of evidence to support the casual association of Psychosis to Marijuana..There is no specified time period or amount of smoking for developing Psychosis...Even some person develop Psychosis after one smoking episode..It all depends on the Genetic composition, Personality and environmental circumstances of the individual.
