A study involving the National Institute on Drug Abusefound a connection between cannabis use disorder and schizophrenia, with young men with cannabis use disorder being at the highest risk for developing schizophrenia.
According to researchers, 30% of schizophrenia cases involving men ages 21-30 could be prevented by averting cannabis use disorder. The researchers say both cannabis use disorder and schizophrenia can be treated but can"profoundly impact people’s lives." "The entanglement of substance use disorders and mental illnesses is a major public health issue, requiring urgent action and support for people who need it," said NIDA Director and study coauthor Dr. Nora Volkow."As access to potent cannabis products continues to expand, it is crucial that we also expand prevention, screening, and treatment for people who may experience mental illnesses associated with cannabis use.
