Honestly, I need to see some hard numbers on this. When researchers start emphasizing only their percentage results with no context, I'm always doubtful as to the impact of the research.

So how can a 40% increased risk not be harmful?

Well, if your original risk of "psychosis" was 1 in 4,239,389.3, and smoking weed made it [b]2 in 4,239,389.3, thats a 100% increase but your odds are still pretty damn slim.

Its all in the numbers, not in the percentages.
