Website Launched to Teach Youth about Risks of Cannabis

The Schizophrenia Society of Canada wants young people to understand the risks of using the drug.

The society has launched a new website to increase awareness.

‘Cannabis and Psychosis: Explore the Link’ aims to provide comprehensive and accessible information to help youth better understand the issue.

The website states: “Regular cannabis use impacts the development of a chronic life-long psychotic disorder in at risk individuals and is associated with an earlier age of onset of psychosis. However, there is currently no way to identify who is at risk of developing psychosis with cannabis use.”
