10 years ago, the idea of physical addiction to cannabis was absolutely laughable.

That people would be having psychotic episodes just from THC.

Unfathomable. Ben Court is the CEO of the Foundry Treatment Center and author of Weeding,

the truth about the pot lobby, THC, and the commercial marijuana industry.

If one pictures their body as the cannabis plant, originally THC was about the size of our

big toe. By the mid-2000s, it was about up to our knee and now we have THC available products

that are past our eyes. Ben Court is now fighting back against a multi-billion dollar industry

that he says turned at once natural, relatively harmless plant, into a highly addictive

psychosis-inducing narcotic. Would I rather have it in the black market? Oh, yeah. Give me a drug

dealer to a corporate executive with an MBA any day.

Ben Court, it's such a pleasure to have you on American Thought Leaders.

Oh, thanks so much for having me. I'm glad to be here. Ben, so weed or marijuana or pot

is not something you typically associate with psychosis. Okay. And I've been reading a number of

magazine articles we've had actually reports in the Epoch Times as well that there is this

growing link bizarrely. So tell me what's going on. Well, 10 years ago, we really didn't see

psychosis and cannabis use together. But recently, I bet you we see 30 cases of THC

induced psychosis for every infetamine. And let me break that down a little. THC is the language

all used from marijuana, probably from here on out, because it's more accurate. It's the chemical

that gets you high inside of the cannabis plant. And traditionally, drug induced psychosis was

always associated with infetamines, cocaine, methamphetamine, until the last five or six years

where THC has really taken over that because of how strong the THC has gotten today.

What is the difference between, you know, what was, you know, you used 20 years ago or 30 years ago
