Is High THC Making People Psychotic? | July 12, 2021

When NBC News runs the headline “High potency weed linked to psychotic episodes” it makes me go a little crazy. “Linked” is a BS word that reporters use when they cannot establish a cause. But millions will read this headline (and headline only) and assume “weed is bad” or that potency / THC levels are at all related. So today we take a closer look at the NBC news report about Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome.

Marijuana Testing Labs Have a THC Problem | 710 Morning Show | June 30, 2021

Laboratories across the country have been suspended or fined for manipulating potency results, having deficient procedures for detecting contaminants like mold or faking those contaminant tests altogether.

What can we do to fix this? What can you do in the meantime?
