I get those just from reading bullshit articles written by pens for hire...
kind of like an imaginary skunk-induced psychotic episode.
or are they the National Enquirer of Great Britain? ( "Elvis spotted in love nest with Liberace" )
I believe you're referring to the Weekly World News, who has brought us such stories in the past as "Hitler Was A Woman", and "Dick Cheney Is A Robot".

https://www.icmag.com//www.pinterest.com/pin/create/extension/If you compare the population rate of psychosis in England in the 50's, the pre-Cannabis era for most of the population, the rates are much the same as today with a huge number of the population as daily Cannabis users. Wonder why the rates today are not much higher if Cannabis was really the cause of psychosis? 25% is a big number.
I have no doubt that Cannabis can be the straw that brakes the camels back, but all these folks were predisposed to psychosis. Cannabis was not the cause, the folks were ready to be psychotic or were already.
It is like saying that beer is ok, wine maybe, but distilled sprits no way, even if mixed with OJ. Alcohol is alcohol be it a shot of rum, a glass of wine, or a bottle of beer. For example none is the direct cause of alcoholism, while drinking way to much, much to often of any of them is.
I wonder if they think that 25mg 50% THC resin (12.5mg pure THC)is more dangerous then a gram of 10% THC average weed? You get lots more more THC from the average weed....
Real twats that wrote the study, many scientists will try and prove anything for funding....

you mean to tell me that Cheney IS NOT a robot???

if they think skunk is strong they haven't tried toad!
dude, where can I score some toad at? LOL!
IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT SAM!!!!!!
This study was ripped to shreds in the comments at the Guardian yesterday. People were asked about their consumption, in area of London, given options of how often, but given the choice between super-mega-ninja-level-deadly-skunk, or camel-shit bar.
The hash I buy online has a fuckton more THC than any weed anyone is putting out there in this country.
Another problem is the fact that people are applying national claims to what is a very small sample, from a deprived inner city area which has much higher than typical levels of both mental health problems and drug problems.
Yet another problem with the study is that it includes synthetics such as "Spice" and the similar products that came out once spice was banned. as i understand it, many of these synthetics do not exist naturally in any plant on earth.
And now they've got a TV special where 3 old farts with no tolerance try "Skunk", with veteran broadcaster Jon Snow saying that it was more terrifying than being in a war zone.....It being getting stuffed into an MRI after getting a large dose of THC for the first time in your life...aw gee, I wonder why he went a bit wibbly, for fucks sake.

Even if it were true...SFW? The biggest risk factor for psychotic illness is a family history of psychotic illness. The actual risk for a healthy person with no family history is about one in a million.
Oh noes, now it's 3 in a million you say, aaaaahhh think of the childreeeeeeen.
3 times almost fuck all, is still almost fuck all.
To put it in perspective, smoking tobacco kills HALF the people who do it. One in a million VS one in two! I know death VS Psychosis is not a great comparison, I was just illustrating the tiny risk that Cannabis use would be even if this study were legit.
