We disagreed with Vos on a number of matters.
But on recreational marijuana, he is 100% correct when he says "Nope" to Democrat demands to legalize the stuff. (Question: why do Democrats demand legalization when studies like this are available?)
...Adolescents who use cannabis could face a significantly higher risk of developing serious psychiatric disorders by young adulthood, according to a large study published in JAMA Health Forum. The longitudinal study followed 463,396 adolescents ages 13 to 17 through age 26 and found that past-year cannabis use during adolescence was associated with a significantly higher risk of incident psychotic (doubled), bipolar (doubled), depressive and anxiety disorders.
Cannabis use preceded psychiatric diagnoses by an average of 1.7 to 2.3 years. The study’s longitudinal design strengthens evidence that adolescent cannabis exposure is a potential risk factor for developing mental illness....
That's in JAMA, and the study is huge--meaning that their statistics are dead-on. We use "dead" advisedly because "dead" often happens to you when you go psychotic.
