Ingraham: “Pot use, especially among teens, can trigger psychosis and increase the chance that the young person will develop behaviors” 07/11/2022	Money is more important than our families and children. LAURA INGRAHAM (HOST): Was it bad information or is this the pro-marijuana bias that we've become accustomed to that's so powerful because billions are on the line with it nationwide? So is the story now irrelevant? We reached out to the Times on this, but they have not responded.

The link between pot and mass shootings may be closer than we think 07/11/2019	It makes no sense at a time when American youth is suffering from an unprecedented mental health crisis. And, in all honesty, we cannot rule out a connection between increasing marijuana use, mental illness and the recent spate of mass shootings by disturbed young males. You can’t address the youth mental health crisis without considering the effect of rising teen marijuana use. Among American teenagers, the drug’s “daily use has become as, or more, popular than daily cigarette smoking” according to the National Institute of Health’s 2017 Monitoring the Future study. mass shootings, mass killings
