Love joe Kernan have been watching him forever I miss Mark

I work for a psychiatric hosp and I'm convinced that there is a connection between psychosis and synthetic marijuana especially in adolescents. Not so sure about natural cannabis. Like anything, it should be used in moderation or there could be adverse effects, like with alcohol.

The science is crystal clear: '... the new study debunks the thinking that people with psychotic symptoms turn to marijuana as a means of self-medication, because marijuana use in the study preceded psychotic symptoms.'

Really interesting piece on the dangers of marijuana

AlexBerenson Alex just wanted a controversial topic that he can make money from.

The basis of their book is built upon what actual evidence? If a person has mental illnesses, how does one attribute the use of marijuana to a problem that's embedded in some individuals, organically?

Some people are sensitive to it but they're not specifically mentally ill. Some can have extremely bad side effects paranoia etc. So they don't use it... At least the people I know.

You know what else harms mental health? Stress. You know what helps some people lower their stress levels? Pot. If the millions of alcohol related deaths have not been the end of the alcohol industry yet, I think pot sellers will be fine.

I wanna short TLRY, too, but the premium just too expensive

The twist is that you have a mental health issue if you choose smoke weed.

Why a nurse could be a dude.👹👺🤡

MY FATHER HAS CANCER AND ITS HELPING HIM IDIOT ! YOU DRANK TO MUCH LAST NITE WITH THE LINES OF COKE ! WHY ARE THEY JUST TESTING IT KNOW ? YOU SHOULD KNOW ALL ABOUT IT LONG AGO ! GO BACK TO YOUR SAFE PLACE !

Colorado says hi

Nope.

There may not be psychosis if people are not paranoid, LIES LIES LIES !!!

Why even give this clown a platform to talk like that?

What an asinine comment. BUD or STZ sure trades with every DUI.

This guy is a total tool, he’s just a reporter (fake news) who is spewing opinion over scientific proof along with some lame brain politicians who want weed prohibition. Wonder how many drinks he had after the interview

I'd like to see your research Alex.

What is this guy smoking 😀

It’s unfortunate to see that on one hand politicians keep talking about opioid crisis and then get onboard with legalization of marijuana. Should they spend time and efforts to fix other issues. But may first they need to create new one so that someone can fix it in future!

CNBC - bringing clickbait to the television screen.

I think he watched Reefer Madness!

Reefer madness !!!!!! Let’s see alcohol & domestic abuse and will see how many prescription drug ads today with side effects about suicidal thoughts and depression

As a dialysis patient there are no patients on dialysis whom kidneys failed because of marijuana but smoking harmful drugs and alcohol abuse

Oh for fuck sakes!

I never heard of pot smoking nurses throwing kids off roofs but quite a few non pot smoking nurses murdering and abusing kids all the time

if marijuana caused psychosis, we'd know it by now. marijuana has been used for decades

Ye when mixed with anti sycotic make you have sycosis off it each time you take it

Must be short $TLRY.....

This has been known for years. I wouldn’t touch pot or want my child to. It has so many adverse effects from demotivation to psychosis.

That’s the dumbest argument ever. So what about alcohol? What about guns? What about cars for that matter?

Unlike every other pharma commercial that warns of of depression, and suicidal thoughts or actions? Do go on...

But thank God booze and pills, both legal can't do the same. Oh wait they do and the mental issues are so much bigger

....and yet alcohol is responsible for 88,000 deaths per year, according to the CDC.

People go nuts all on their own. Then when they get caught, they blame it on the booze, the drugs. No you lost.

That's why I only drink

I’ve been saying this for 25 years.

So what’s his excuse for the people doing this on rx’s?

When a President closes the government for 21 days, will Adderall be criminalized?

Another attempt at making a dollar from a supposed author... wonder who is paying your bill .. Alcohol lobby?

Classic 1950’s anti marijuana propaganda. Complete trash/fear tactics not based on reality

Marijuana has been a part of our society for decades. What this dude is saying, “You might go nuts but the number is so low we don’t know why they react like this.” It’s called as with any altering substance we will see some adverse reactions. The greater good is what is ignored

this guy is wrong ive smoked mountains of it before it was legal. i think she must of been on another drug like meth.

Wow. Dude needs to get out more, and see reality.

Sure... it becoming legal to continue the dumming down of society... Beer, otc drugs and now this...

Yes, because that happens all the time with pot smokers! Why just yesterday I must’ve seen atleast 10 kids being thrown off roofs in my neighborhood! 😆

we have been smoking weed forever.. no one has thrown their kid off a roof bc of weed

Dude is a hack. Alcohol can lead to mental illness, kidney failure, liver failure, death. Nitnti mention it can exacerbate underlying mental issues. It also had a tendency to make people angry and causes them to do terrible and foolish things. Leave pot alone.

Yet those issues aren't being displayed by the millions of people who've been consuming for decades. Maybe we should continue to worry more about the effects of alcohol on everything in life.

Imagine being this dumb

This dude needs to smoke a J and relax
