Study finds no link between teen pot use and schizophrenia risk

New research has found little link between marijuana use and schizophrenia, contrary to previous studies that suggested pot-smoking adolescents were at greater risk of developing the mental illness.

A recent study conducted at Harvard Medical School compared families with a history of schizophrenia and those without such a history, and it’s the first family study to examine non-psychotic cannabis users and non-cannabis users as independent sample groups.

While marijuana use seemed to have an effect on the age of onset for schizophrenia, researchers found that family risk was the crucial underlying factor.

“The results of the current study suggest that having an increased familial morbid risk for schizophrenia may be the underlying basis for schizophrenia in cannabis users and not cannabis use by itself,” the researchers found.

The study examined 282 people from the New York and Boston areas who were divided into four groups: those with no lifetime history of psychotic illness, cannabis or any other drug use; those with no lifetime history of psychotic illness, and a history of heavy cannabis use during adolescence, but no other drug use; patients with no lifetime history of cannabis use or any other drug and less than 10 years of being ill; patients with a history of heavy cannabis use and no other drug use during adolescence and prior to the onset of psychosis.

Researchers asked the subjects about their family history of mental illness and drug use, which expanded the study to include nearly 4,300 people.

The study, which was published earlier this month in Schizophrenia Research, found evidence to suggest that cannabis users were more likely to develop depression or bipolar disorders, but the scientists said more research was needed to understand the relationship.

The researchers also found that drug abuse itself appears to have an important genetic component.

“Drug abuse is present more frequently in family members of all three samples compared to those of non-cannabis abusing controls,” the researchers said. “This is in line with past research confirming a genetic predisposition for drug use.”

They say cannabis can actually increase the cognitive functioning of the schizo's.  As a shamanic allie it can help shape mental processes.  Cannabis is a big magnifier for the ego to look at subconscious processes.  This can be good if your a willing explorer, but bad if you just wanna look!

That's because it's not true, and a bunch of greedy, cock sucking psycopaths make up these tyrannical laws.

If a law is unjust, one is not only right to disobey it, he is obligated to do so.

Wll it seems there is a link to depression and bi-polar disorder, but they need more evidence.

Depression would make sense as marijuana is a depressant.

It's sure as hell a bronchodilator. As a light asthmatic I can tell you that it's certainly helped me be able to get deeper breaths, and I live in a house with two smokers. Come to think of it, Che Guevara used cannabis as well because it helped alleviate his severe asthma symptoms. I'll also tell you, as a heart patient with an artificial aortic valve, cannabis lowers the blood pressure. Due to my valve, my blood pressure is a bit higher than the normal bp is supposed to be. When using cannabis, my bp reads lower, at least in the doctor's office. And those aren't even the reasons I use it. I use it because it relieves my stress and anxiety levels and makes it so I enjoy life more than I would when not smoking it. So I guess if your bp is normal and your lungs are at max capacity 24/7 and you have no health concerns whatsoever, and you have no stress, anxiety, or depression to speak of, I'm sure cannabis probably does suck. Because how else can millions of cannabis users possibly be wrong?

My name isn't "weed." Still sucks. It's not this miraculous plant that's going to change the world if it becomes legal. People are just going to get high, like they have been, and nothing will change. And then after a little while after legalization is cool, people won't give a shit anymore. That day cannot come soon enough.

Cannabis is a muscle relaxant, so it seems more like a depressant than a stimulant. However, cannabis does not have the risk of slowing breathing down, like alcohol does, as nobody has ever died of a cannabis overdose, so it can't be a true depressant

cannabis increases heart rate, but I have also heard that this is because the material is being smoked and that the blood vessels are dilated.

classified as a hallucinogen  :rolleyes:

Well this basically just confirmed my beliefs about pot use. If you're predisposed to be schizophrenic or have any other mental disorder, which is usually the result of being raised in a dysfunctional family (your parents are batshit crazy), and if you're just naturally neurotic, you shouldn't smoke weed.
