Alex Berenson, author of the new book "Tell Your Children: The Truth About Marijuana, Mental Illness and Violence" believes there's plenty of evidence that today's high-strength cannabis is causing psychosis.
"People are not well aware of the strength of the science," he says.
And he believes the evidence has only gotten stronger since he finished his book.
"The stories are now so much worse than that kids failed out of school or went on to use other drugs," says Berenson. "A lot of suburban families who never thought this would be a problem" are starting to share their stories.
"That’s what turned on the opioid crisis," Berenson said.
Berenson met last month with Florida state legislators considering legislation. He says interest groups and legislators in about a dozen other states have asked him to speak.
