Can you elaborate on the connection you’re drawing here?

Omega 6 creates an endocannibinoid that is more like Delta 9 THC and Delta 9 THC increases glutamate release. This will cause psychosis in people who have high glutamate levels or low GABA levels.

Omega 3 creates an endocannibinoid that is more like CBD and CBD increases GABA release.
