    Doesn’t surprise me a bit. The stuff seems to impact people’s mind…Just say no to drugs, too easy.

    I've found 2 Tylenol and half a cup of strong coffee to be better than a hypo of morphine.

    Okay this one is a bit interesting, and overblown. Some quick research The article says link between cannabis use disorder and schizophrenia. That CUD term was added not so long ago to become a third category not covered by cannabis use and cannabis dependence.
    It is defined as continued cannabis use despite it having negative impacts on your life. It affects about 10% of the 190mil+ worldwide cannabis users.
    This is not some all weed users are heading for schizophrenia.
    Splashy headline=clicks=advertisers.
    Do I think the problem is real? Yes I do. But the headline is misleading, therefore clickbait.

    Just to clear the air, marijuana IS physically addicting. Depending on the person, maybe as bad as heroin. It was physically addicting when I used it. When I finally kicked the habit, I had bad headaches, the shakes, and rough irritability. I won't call BS on the article, because controlled substances affects everyone differently. The fact that there are a large people who complain of paranoia after use, there's a connection to schizophrenia if you ask me.

    I agree with you on the addiction part, and they did use the proper term in the title. It's a relatively new term and I still believe they were trying to make it look like weed use to schizophrenia for all. I am not trying to debunk their findings. What the heck would I know?
