I recently read a study that acute marijuana-induced psychosis may potentially lead to future illness based on the following study in the American Journal of Psychiatry by Marie Stephanie Kejser Starzer, Merete Nordentoft, and Carsten Hjorthøj (https://ajp.psychiatryonline.org/doi/10.1176/appi.ajp.2017.17020223). It is hard not to ignore this as a longer term potential harm that may occur in certain individuals. I don't have enough knowledge to comment on it but think it would be important to discuss it in the broader theme of using medical cannabis.
