Marijuana-associated schizophrenia is on the rise.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A new study out of Denmark has found that, in the past 25 years, the number of schizophrenia cases correlated with cannabis use has increased: While only 2 percent of schizophrenia diagnoses in 1995 were associated with marijuana use, by 2010, that figure had risen to app<\/a>roximately 8 percent.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Authors of the study<\/a>, published Wednesday in the journal JAMA Psychiatry, believe their findings reflect that cannabis, despite its positive reputation relative to other recreational drugs, can be dangerous and have serious medical side effects.\u00a0<\/p>\n

To reach this conclusion, they analyzed decades worth of data from Denmark\u2019s national health registry, focusing on extreme users with cannabis treatment disorder. (Weed is illegal in Denmark, albeit for medicinal use.)<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is, unfortunately, evidence to suggest that cannabis is increasingly seen as a somewhat harmless substance. This is unfortunate, since we see links with schizophrenia, poorer cognitive function, substance use disorders,\u201d study author and associate professor at the Copenhagen Research Center for Mental Health Carsten Hjorth\u00f8j told CNN<\/a> in an email. \u201cI think it is highly important to use both our study and other studies to highlight and emphasize that cannabis use is not harmless.\u201d<\/p>\n

That cannabis users have an increased likelihood of becoming schizophrenic is well established, but researchers believe their findings show that the issue is worsening and becoming more widespread.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cOf course, our findings will have to be replicated elsewhere before firm conclusions can be drawn,\u201d Hjorth\u00f8j said. \u201cBut I do feel fairly confident that we will see similar patterns in places where problematic use of cannabis has increased, or where the potency of cannabis has increased, since many studies suggest that high-potency cannabis is probably the driver of the association with schizophrenia.\u201d<\/p>\n

In an accompanying commentary, experts noted that the majority of schizophrenia diagnoses are not due to cannabis use, but enough are that the issue is still of merit.<\/p>\n

\u201cCannabis use disorder is not responsible for most schizophrenia cases, but it is responsible for a non-negligible and increasing proportion. This should be considered in discussions regarding legalization and regulation of the use of cannabis,\u201d Harvard T. H. Chan School of Public Health professor Tyler J. VanderWeele wrote, CNN reported.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
