Daily cannabis and skunk users run higher psychosis risk

For example, in a previous study8 of part of the population reported here, we noted that skunk-like types of cannabis, which contain very high concentrations of Δ-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), seemed to have a greater psychotogenic effect than did hash (resin), which is known to contain much less THC.

I guess they're utilizing the term to describe potency... Or to not sound like squares in front of the cool kids...

That paragraph really doesn't make any sense. Skunk is more of an adjective than a noun. Ie: "there weed is skunky"

Meanwhile hash (which is technically "resin", however resin in the pot world is the black build up that collects in paraphernalia.) Can have a THC content upwards of 90% while marijuana can physically not surpass about 30%. (At that point 1/3 of the plant is THC)
