> Professor Robin Murray of the Institute of Psychiatry in London has no doubt about the connection between cannabis and schizophrenia.Schizophrenia is twice as common now in South London as it was in the 1960`s and this is the likeliest cause.
"Correlation does not mean causation"
(a great point that my psychology professors sometimes tell us). i question whether cannabis was the "likeliest cause." i could see how and do believe that cannabis could aggravate and even induce psychosis in some people, but i imagine it is usually (though not always) from an extremely bad experience from an extremely high dose of cannabis-- and that it is extremely rare overall
(nowhere near proportional to LSD use and psychosis, i'd say).
