Many cannabis related lawsuits out there:
"Despite...cannabis causes psychosis, Big Cannabis fails to adequately warn consumers of this devastating potential side effect. Worse, Big Cannabis actively and maliciously markets its products as safe, even medicinal."

It is SO important to realize what legalization is doing: creating messaging that THC is safe, when in reality, it’s not at all. We need to stop putting kids at risk of irreversible harm.
