Beloved,
I wish above all things that thou mayest ....be in health...
3 John 1:2
"At the World Psychiatric Association’s World Congress in Berlin on
October 9, Hannelore Ehrenreich of the Max Planck Institute of
Experimental Medicine presented results of a study of 1,200 people with
schizophrenia. ......The results—being submitted for publication—show people who had
consumed cannabis before age 18 developed schizophrenia approximately
10 years earlier than others. The higher the frequency of use, the data
indicated, the earlier the age of schizophrenia onset. “Cannabis use during puberty is a major risk factor for
schizophrenia,” Ehrenreich says.
Murray—one of the first scientists to research
pot’s link to the disorder—cited 10 studies that found a significant
risk of young cannabis users developing psychosis. ... “The more
[cannabis] you take—and the higher the potency—the greater the risk,” he
contends, warning this makes the increasingly potent new strains of
marijuana especially concerning." ScientificAmerican
