The Link Between Marijuana and Schizophrenia

(excerpt)

But here's the conundrum: while marijuana went from being a secret shared by a small community of hepcats and beatniks in the 1940s and '50s to a rite of passage for some 70% of youth by the turn of the century, rates of schizophrenia in the U.S. have remained flat, or possibly declined. For as long as it has been tracked, schizophrenia has been found to affect about 1% of the population.

Marijuana does accelerate schizophrenia in those so predisposed.

I’ve attended psychiatric conferences where they presented many case studies showing how first time use, especially with synthetic THC like JWH-18 caused psychotic breaks that were permanent for life.
