Teens who use marijuana are 11 times more likely to be diagnosed with a psychotic disorder, a new study finds, NBC News reported. The cannabis study, published Wednesday, was led by researchers from the University of Toronto and examined teenage patients who used marijuana within the last year and those who didn’t, according to NBC News. When the marijuana study was limited further to teens who were sent to the emergency room or hospitalized, it showed a 27-fold increase in the likelihood of being diagnosed with psychotic illness. “I think that there’s enough evidence out there for us to give recommendations that teens probably shouldn’t be using cannabis,” Andre McDonald, a postdoctoral research fellow at McMaster University and lead author of the study, told NBC. “If we can somehow ask teens to delay their use until their brain has developed a little further, I think that would be good for public health,” McDonald said. Although the research doesn’t prove that cannabis use by teens causes psychosis, Dr. Leslie Hulvershorn, a child psychiatrist who was not involved with the study, argues that it is unlikely that teens already were predisposed to these kinds of mental health issues, NBC reported. The study noted that the risk of psychosis didn’t spike for users between ages 20 and 33. Dr. Kevin Gray, a professor of psychiatry at the Medical University of South Carolina who wasn’t part of the study, told NBC News that the increased risk of psychosis likely had to do with brain development at different stages of life. “There’s something about that stage of brain development that we haven’t yet fully characterized—where there’s a window of time where cannabis use may increase the risk of psychosis,” Gray said. “This study really puts a fine point on delaying cannabis use until your 20s, [which] may mitigate one of the most potentially serious risks.” Another study from July 2023 found that marijuana addiction made individuals four times more likely to be diagnosed later with bipolar disorder with psychotic symptoms and two times more likely to be diagnosed with depression. Recreational marijuana use has been legalized in 24 states and Washington, D.C. Thirteen states have legalized pot for medical use, according to CBS News.

The Left's Ideological Mullet: DEI in the Front, 'Anti-Zionist' in the Back

On the Wednesday edition of Today, NBC Washington correspondent Hallie Jackson mourned Louisiana’s decision to pass a bill that will reclassify two drugs commonly used in abortion, mifepristone and misoprostol as controlled and dangerous substances. Co-host Craig Melvin introduced Jackson by reporting, “In a first of its kind move, lawmakers in Louisiana have now passed a bill to reclassify two commonly used drugs in abortions as ‘controlled dangerous substances.’”     Jackson replied that, “If the governor does ultimately sign this bill into law, and he’s expected to, Louisiana would be the first state in the country to criminalize these abortion drugs in this way, but critics fear it may not be the last.” In a pre-recorded report, Jackson continued, “Louisiana lawmakers moving forward with a plan to put two abortion drugs in the same category as so-called “controlled dangerous substances” like depressants and stimulants. Criminalizing the possession of mifepristone and misoprostol - used to induce abortions for anyone without a prescription.” Jackson did manage to interview the bill's primary sponsor, State Sen. Thomas Pressly, where she recalled “his sister was given an abortion drug while pregnant without her consent.” However, Jackson left out the details. Catherine Herring, was six to eight weeks pregnant with her daughter when she began to suspect that her husband, Mason, was spiking her water with abortion pills. In Louisiana, mifepristone and misoprostol can be easily obtained through the mail or picked up out of state. Herring installed cameras in her home which revealed that she was taking abortion pills against her consent. In February of this year, Mason Herring pleaded guilty to injuring a child and the assault of a pregnant woman. He was sentenced to six months in jail. Pressly filed Senate Bill 276 to criminalize the possession of abortion drugs without a prescription. He stated, “My goal is certainly not to prevent women from getting the access to these pills when they need them. It is to simply say when you're a bad actor in possession of these pills that you should be held accountable.” The bill also makes it a crime to slip abortion pills to a pregnant woman without her given consent. With a prescription, individuals will be able to use these drugs. The purpose of this bill is to raise awareness on how dangerous these pills can be to your health if not taken with a doctor’s permission and guidance. However, that didn’t stop Jackson from fear-mongering. She cited doctors in Louisiana who believe that this bill will “create confusion and misinformation” since the drugs can also be used after a miscarriage or to induce labor. But as Pressly himself noted, he isn’t banning the drugs. An individual will just need to obtain a prescription of it from their doctor. The transcript is below.

In a first of its kind move, lawmakers in Louisiana have now passed a bill to reclassify two commonly used drugs in abortions as “controlled dangerous substances.” NBC’s senior Washington correspondent, Hallie Jackson, is following this one for us. Hallie, good morning. [ON-SCREEN HEADLINE: Louisiana’s Push to Criminalize Abortion Pills] HALLIE JACKSON: Hey there Craig, good morning to you. This is a controversial plan that hundreds of Louisiana doctors say they oppose. If the governor does ultimately sign this bill into law, and he’s expected to, Louisiana would be the first state in the country to criminalize these abortion drugs in this way but critics fear it may not be the last. A new front line this morning in the battle over abortion access. LOUISIANA POLITICIAN: And the bill is finally passed. JACKSON: Louisiana lawmakers moving forward with a plan to put two abortion drugs in the same category as so-called “controlled dangerous substances” like depressants and stimulants. Criminalizing the possession of mifepristone and misoprostol - used to induce abortions for anyone without a prescription. JULIE EMERSON (Republican Louisiana State Representative): When over utilized, this drug can be incredibly harmful. JACKSON: The bill's author says his sister was given an abortion drug while pregnant without her consent. THOMAS PRESSLY: My goal is certainly not to prevent women from getting the access to these pills when they need them. It is to simply say when you're a bad actor in possession of these pills that you should be held accountable. JACKSON: But critics question how the state could enforce the proposal and warn it may have a chilling effect. AIMEE ADATTO FREEMAN (Democratic Louisiana State Representative):  Let me tell you something, 50th in maternal outcomes is not pro-life. JACKSON: Two hundred eighty Louisiana doctors in a letter say reclassifying the drugs is “not scientifically based” and “creates confusion and misinformation” considering the drugs are also used after miscarriages and to induce labor. NICOLE FREEHILL (Louisiana Obstetrician and Gynecologist): Only a very small percentage of the time are they utilized for abortion care. JACKSON: Louisiana already has one of the most restrictive laws in the country banning both medication and surgical abortions with no exceptions for rape or incest, only for the life of the mother. Since the overturning of Roe v. Wade more than a dozen states have put in place stricter abortion laws, raising the political stakes on reproductive rights heading into November.

Keeping things fresh in a game like ESO must be an incredible challenge. Ten years after launch it’s still going strong, with new chapters regularly being released. The danger, however, is that things could get formulaic. We could simply go to a new area, fight a new danger, and come back to tell the tale. Thankfully, Zenimax Online Studios is aware of this trap and is taking steps to avoid it.
