LONDON, - People who use cannabis every day run a significantly higher risk of developing the serious mental illness psychosis, especially if they use more potent forms of the drug, such as skunk, scientists said.Potent cannabis types with more than 10 percent of the psychoactive ingredient THC were linked to a five times greater risk.
Researchers said the study - published in The Lancet Psychiatry journal - is the first to show the impact of cannabis use on population rates of psychosis, and should highlight the potential public health impact of changes to drugs laws. "As the legal status of cannabis changes in many countries and states, and as we consider the medicinal properties of some types of cannabis, it is of vital public health importance that we also consider the potential adverse effects," said Marta di Forti, who co-led the work at King's College London's Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience .
