Well it is definitely not that because it states it must not be caused by a substance.
I agree THC can cause psychosis like sysmptoms, but baring people predisposed or with underlying mental conditions, it is almost always a dosage issue.
Do you mind me asking was the dosage either high, or in edible form when you had the negative experience?
I've had psychosis like symptoms when I ate a 1g hash edible and smoked 1g of hash before it kicked in. That was a severe overdose for me. THC helps me but if I go over a certain amount it becomes a negative thing.
IMO the poison is in the dosage like most things.

Yeah I agree with you that the poison is in the dose.. But that's the whole point. I've never even heard dosage talked about ever in any local news story or even around here (come to think it pretty much never when it comes to the east coast media). Is just the naysayers saying make it illegal or the stoners saying smoke week everyday...
After a month or so break I vaped what was probably no bigger than half a fingernail clipping, and felt what I see as negative effects. (After my haydays, its been 10 years since starting, my last 3 years I've taken what I'd say are significant breaks but for no more than a month or two at a time.
I grew up learning from rap music and pop culture and got in the the everyday habit. I was very depressed as a 17-22 year old and smoking was, I believe, the best crutch I had to get me through that time. But after I learned what I needed to learn the habit stayed with me and with the [uneeded/dosages] habit came negative effects. (Theres a banned ted talk by graham Hancock that kinda talks about this on YouTube)
I hate even talking about it because there is so much to it that you can't blame anything. Its life.
That stuff being said I can build a tolerance and still enjoy a pack before bed. But socially its gonna stay at less then half a hit. And I've had edibles while alone that paralize me but are enjoyable...
I'm not trying to say weed is a cause of problems for all but that it can signicantly fuck a person up when combined with other forces in life. IMHO it should be treated more serious than it is, but it should also be completely legal to buy sell and grow. I feel it would be a great way to spend weed profits in legal areas... Teaching kids what drugs really are, and their various uses an the importance of dosing. That way it might reduce binging, and junkies of any drug culture might be able to understand proper balancing techniques for living productive lives.
I never understood these pissing contests whatever subject they are about be it any drug.
I remember being at a party in highschool and kids making fun of a kid for holding a blunt "wrong"... How fucked up is that. No one taught the parents and no one taught the kids.
It's a touchy subject. The only way to fix it is honesty and acceptance.
When I get my life sorted again, find good people to live around, have a realistic income... I think that will have an effect of how smoking effects me and my issues with it will be fine. (If not smoking daily)
Cbd when I was able to try it, was pretty much all the beneficial aspect of weed without the intense spiraling out of control. Although I did take a big dose of cbd and feel similar effects but it was more brief and slightly different but maybe the same intensity (tincture hit me at a bad time)... I probably even intake less cbd than most of you.
I hope cbd dabs become legal (legal as in common knowledge and not haveing to sift through random websites to find contradictory info) if nothing else.

"Psychosis" is a strong word. Too strong for some use. It is commonly used in the mental health field to describe auditory or visual stimuli. In fact, one of these symtoms are a requirement for diagnosis. So, who experiences this upon use of cannabis, after never having psychotic symptoms before?
