Reply to comment by Blubomberikam in Should marijuana compassion centers warn of potential risks of developing schizophrenia with daily use or high THC levels? by [deleted]

There is a significant body of peer-reviewed evidence that suggests a link between cannabis use and an increased risk of schizophrenia. Studies have consistently found that people who use cannabis are more likely to develop schizophrenia or other psychotic disorders than those who do not use the drug.

Some examples of peer-reviewed research on this topic include:

  • A 2019 meta-analysis of 83 longitudinal studies that found a clear association between cannabis use and the onset of psychotic symptoms, including schizophrenia. The study concluded that cannabis use increases the risk of psychotic disorders by about three-fold.
  • A 2020 study published in The Lancet Psychiatry that used a large dataset to investigate the relationship between cannabis use and schizophrenia. The study found that heavy cannabis users were more likely to develop schizophrenia than occasional users or non-users, and that the risk increased with the amount of cannabis used.
  • A 2018 study published in JAMA Psychiatry that used brain imaging to examine the effects of cannabis use on brain structure and function in people at high risk of developing schizophrenia. The study found that cannabis use was associated with changes in brain regions that are known to be involved in the development of psychotic disorders.

That seems an awful lot like a list from a group you're copying from. Do you have links to the actual studies or just a list of someone's interpretations?

Do you want links to the actual source now?

Always want a link to the actual study. A copy paste from what I'm sure is a biased advocacy group is useless.

Just saying I provided research examples, you could always type it in yourself. But okay 👌🏼

I'm not the one making the claim so I have no responsibility to verify it. You have the burden of proof. You have provided someone else's analysis copied from a site with no links to the source data.

In this thread you have already said there was no confirmed genetic % and then immediately linked an 80% figure (also without a source) so you have not swayed me in any way nor given me any reason to trust what your saying.

I’m sorry that you feel that way, just trying to help the community in making healthy choices.

Nothing I've said disagrees with that, I just care that I'm not trying to make things happen based on bad information.

You do understand why a stranger linking unsourced information on the internet is not reliable, right?
