hi, all.

i must say that the evidence linking pot and psychosis is inconclusive at best. in the uk, cannabis use has increased greatly in recent yrs, while incidences of schizophrenia/psychosis have not.
it is a chicken and egg scenario and one must ask, are pot smokers more likely to become schizophrenic, or are schizophrenics/psychotics more likely to toke?
feedback?
peace b upon ye all...

That is exactly correct it is a chicken and egg scenario it is only a correlation which is why I said that it may increase the likelihood of the onset of schizophrenia... It really isn't a weak correlation either it is like r = .8, which is a pretty significant correlation....
