Cannabis link to mental illness strengthened

The link between regular cannabis use and later depression and schizophrenia has been significantly
strengthened by three new studies.
One of the key conclusions of the research is that people who start smoking cannabis as adolescents
are at the greatest risk of later developing mental health problems. Another team calculates that
eliminating cannabis use in the UK population could reduce cases of schizophrenia by 13 per cent.
Patton's team followed over 1600 Australian school pupils aged 14 to 15 for seven years. Daily cannabis
use was associated with a five-fold increased risk of depression at the age of 20. Weekly use was
linked to a two-fold increase. The regular users were no more likely to have suffered from depression or
anxiety at the start of the study.
Finally, researchers led by Terrie Moffitt at King's College London, UK, analysed comprehensive data on
over 1000 people born in Dunedin, New Zealand in 1972 and 1973.
They found that people who used cannabis by age 15 were four times as likely to have a diagnosis of
schizophreniform disorder (a milder version of schizophrenia) at age 26 than non-users.
