High-Potency THC Vapes May Cause Psychosis in Teens
When vape pens contain high levels of THC, like those sold by STIIIZY, users may be at an increased risk of developing cannabis-induced psychosis and experiencing symptoms like paranoia or hallucinations.
For underage users, their brain development can be disrupted by exposure to THC, which makes the use of potent STIIIZY products among teens particularly concerning.
“The risk for psychosis is dose-dependent, meaning that the more marijuana somebody’s exposed to, especially in adolescence, the greater the risk of developing psychosis, schizophrenia and severe mental illness.”
– Dr. Christian Thurstone, Child Psychiatrist & Addiction Specialist
California emergency room visits for cannabis-induced psychosis increased by 54% from 2016 to 2019, after recreational marijuana was legalized. The higher THC concentration in certain cannabis products may also play a role.
Some of STIIIZY’s vape pods contain up to 92% THC. Recent lawsuits allege the company markets their products to young people without warning them about the health risks of high-potency cannabis.

What Is the STIIIZY Lawsuit About?
STIIIZY cannabis products are among the most popular in the United States, but concerns about their safety have led some families to take legal action.
Lawsuits against STIIIZY allege the company:
- Failed to warn users of the risks associated with their products
- Marketed their products as promoting stress relief and wellness
- Underrepresented the amount of THC in their hemp offerings
- Used fun flavors and flashy advertisements to appeal to teenagers
Under the 2018 U.S. Farm Bill, hemp-based vaporizers shouldn’t contain more than 0.3% THC. However, STIIIZY’s were found to contain nearly 200% more THC than allowed by the law.
Consumers, as well as their parents, are advocating for clearer warnings to alert teenagers about the risks associated with high-potency THC vapes, including cannabis-induced psychosis.
Who Can File a STIIIZY Vape Pen Lawsuit?
You may be able to file a STIIIZY vape pen lawsuit if you or a loved one:
- Used STIIIZY products containing THC
- Experienced cannabis-induced psychosis
There’s only a limited amount of time to file a STIIIZY lawsuit due to state laws known as statutes of limitations, so it’s important to reach out to our team as soon as possible.
Once these deadlines pass, you won’t be able to take legal action and pursue compensation for your injuries again.

- Difficulty expressing thoughts or emotions
- Disorganized behavior or speech
