As per Dr. Stuart Gitlow, who is a professor at the University of Florida and a former president of American Society of Addiction Medicine, marijuana today is even stronger than it was a few years ago. It reportedly gives one a more psychedelic feeling, rather than just a mild sense of intoxication.

Gitlow even concluded that a small amount of marijuana can cause hallucinations and paranoia, which could fade after a few hours. However, daily consumption of weed can promote chronic loss of focus, attention, and concentration.

The same outlet even added that Deborah Hasin, who is a professor of epidemiology at the Columbia University in Mailman School of Public Health, revealed that heavy users can become addicted and dependent to weed. Too much weed can reportedly lead to psychosis.
