Pot & Increased Risk for Schizophrenia

The study pointed out that the legalization of cannabis during the past few decades has made it one of the most frequently used psychoactive substances in the world. At the same time, it also decreased the public’s perception of its harmfulness. Lead author of the Denmark study pointed out that “Cannabis use is not harmless.” There is an increased risk for both males and females, but the study found a much stronger association among young men. They estimated that in year 2021, as many as 30% of schizophrenia cases among males aged 21-20 might have been avoided by preventing the cannabis use disorder.
