Understanding Cannabis-Induced Psychosis

- Symptoms include paranoia, anxiety, confusion, and sometimes, severe disorganized behavior.
Preventive Measures
- Avoid High Doses: Stick to low or moderate amounts to minimize the risk.
- Stay Hydrated and Eat: Dehydration and hunger can amplify psychedelic symptoms.
- Choose Safe Strains: Educate yourself on different cannabis strains and their effects.
- Seek Legal Sources: Obtain cannabis from a legal and regulated dispensary.
