Cannabis and Schizophrenia: A causal (not coincidental) association

Описание: Cannabis and Schizophrenia: A causal (not coincidental) association

Hi, Thanks for watching this video about cannabis and schizophrenia.

The evidence linking cannabis use to schizophrenia is compelling. No one who is truly open-minded and rational can dismiss the possibility that cannabis exposure causes schizophrenia (or a schizophrenia-identical persisting psychotic disorder).

Cannabis use affects brain maturation and affects the signaling of both dopamine and glutamate – two neurotransmitters with known relevance to schizophrenia. There is clear evidence of a dose-response relationship. Higher cumulative exposure to cannabis in early life translates into higher risk of schizophrenia in later life. Mendelian randomization, a genetic analysis strategy that eliminates the influence of confounding variables, suggests that the relationship between cannabis use and schizophrenia is causative – not coincidental.
