While marijuana and psychosis can cause similar symptoms such as paranoia, confusion, and altered perceptions, there are important differences between the two.

Marijuana use typically leads to mild to moderate cognitive changes and euphoria, while psychosis involves more intense and persistent mental disturbances, including delusions and hallucinations.

Marijuana use is often temporary, lasting only a few hours, while psychosis is a serious and long-term condition that requires medical attention.

It's important to note that marijuana use can potentially trigger or worsen underlying psychotic disorders in people who are already at risk. If you are experiencing any concerning symptoms or have questions about your mental health, it's best to talk to a medical professional.

Leading people to vote yes for safety can be seen as a strategy to promote policies or actions that prioritize the well-being and protection of individuals and society as a whole. Ultimately, the goal is to create a safer environment for everyone, which can improve quality of life and reduce the incidence of harm and risk in the community.

National Institute of Mental Health, the heritability of schizophrenia is estimated to be around 80%, meaning that 80% of the risk for developing schizophrenia is due to genetic factors. This information is also supported by a meta-analysis of family studies, which found that the lifetime risk of schizophrenia is approximately 6.5% among first-degree relatives of people with the illness, compared to a population prevalence of around 1%.

The proposed question here assumes the premise is true. There is no definitive evidence and at best some correlation, unless you have a peer reviewed source stating otherwise.

Also incredibly biased wording for the question being asked with no explanation for a "no" response clearly trying to lead people to vote yes.

According to current scientific understanding, there is no definitive percentage for how much schizophrenia is inherited. However, it is generally accepted that genetic factors play a significant role in the development of schizophrenia. Studies have shown that individuals with a family history of schizophrenia have a higher risk of developing the disorder, and certain genetic variants have been associated with an increased risk. However, it is also known that environmental factors can contribute to the development of schizophrenia, and the interplay between genetic and environmental factors is complex and not yet fully understood. But we should warn of potential risks such as schizophrenia.

I hope it works out for you and they do what is right. Update if you can! This always intrigues me because if you read the handbook, the tenants have a lot of rights. It confuses me that people describe complete unlivable situations but act like there is nothing to do. How would I convince a judge that it's reasonable for me to leave my tenants without heat in the winter?

I see it as, if I was paying to live in on a property and neglect was costing me additional out of pocket cost, I should document it and discuss rebating these costs with the landlord. If they give me any shit or ignore me, right to small claims court. I haven't needed to go for this situation but I'd love to see how this wouldn't go in favor of the tenant. (Maybe the court system is corrupt)

The main issue you can see in the handbook is that if a landlord violates these rights, tenant basically is able to leave. There are clearly costs to moving. Landlords should be responsible in those cases where they couldn't hold up their end of the deal and provide livable housing. There should be time limits on when critical amenities are expected to be fixed so tenants aren't left hanging. This is what I think most of those tenant rallies should be focusing on if they aren't. They highlight questionable things like past eviction shielding and no application costs.

Well there is zero truth to this quoted statement It's cool that people obviously dislike soccer but. Rhode island is one of the hottest markets in the country for soccer viewership year over year. The stadium has already sold deposits for half the stadiums capacity and we are still a year out.

We respect the negative responses as we are aware that plenty of American folks don't like the sport. But we are certainly going to prove those folks wrong soon enough.

I mean the cops are human beings, most people don’t have the same level of compassion that you speak of when having to deal with the drug addicts and the mentally Ill on the daily. Their basically human dog catchers running around the city constantly having to deal with these folks and their issues.

By and large the cops tend to be compassionate enough when dealing with them but obviously their going to have times where they just get frustrated with their behavior 🤷🏿‍♂️

That being said though, I do think you're probably correct in that the hospital did likely assume something about Lisa and did not take her concerns seriously.

I'm curious what her treatment even was considering how recently she had had a stroke and how she clearly picked up on some warning signs about having another one.

Hospitals are often tasked with doing a lot, oftentimes more then they really should be responsible for, but patient care should always be the #1 priority. Its just unfortunate when you have incidents similar to these, where (putting aside the loss of life) even if the assumption is correct and the hospital is dealing with a repeat visitor or somebody struggling with mental illness, that patient care seems to take a backseat to profit and getting the "patient" back out the door "treated"
