Marijuana's Unintended Public Health Experiment

Legalization and commercialization of marijuana have led to an unintended public health crisis, with doctors observing a rise in severe side effects among chronic users and those consuming potent products. While many users experience no issues, emergency doctors and specialists report growing instances of debilitating nausea and vomiting syndrome, potentially resulting in kidney failure, seizures, and cardiac arrest. An alarming statistic indicates that nearly one-third of frequent users may suffer from this syndrome. Additionally, marijuana is linked to temporary psychosis and an increased risk of developing chronic psychotic disorders such as schizophrenia.
