You claimed a causal relationship between mj and schizophrenia and said it is a big contributor. If that were so, then the US and the Netherlands should rank high and Singapore should rank low. That casts doubt on your claim, so it’s up to you to explain.

You claimed a causal relationship between mj and schizophrenia and said it is a big contributor.

Dr. Blaylock does a monthly news letter on health issues that I subscribe to. Recently, the topic was mj. Medical research shows that youth under 18 that use mj have a higher incidence of schizophrenia because of that use when their brain was developing. (and there is additional risk if it is used under the age of 27).

It is stated that even if it is used and then stopped, the damage remains. Several references are given to support this hypothesis.

KEY POINTS: Most disturbing effects of Marijuana use are schizophrenia and psychosis.

The article quotes a study that suggest that about 13% of diagnosed schizophrenia is due to marijuana use by adolescents.
