142. Yeah, I agree
And if you are over 20 and/or do not have certain genes that make your dopamine system vulnerable, then things like pot probably won't make a difference for psychosis.

However if you do, anything that can screw up your dopamine system should be avoided, including prescription meds like wellbutrin.

So IMO pot is no more dangerous than wellbutrin. Both, when given to people with vulnerable DA systems, might make them more likely to develop full blown psychosis. But neither should be banned. However people at risk of diseases like schizophrenia should be aware of the risk of these things.
