Early cannabis use increases schizophrenia risk

Some young people who use cannabis are at greater risk of developing schizophrenia, according to new research.

According to the report, people who have a particular form of the COMT gene were more susceptible to developing schizophrenia.

It was conducted by a team of specialists from the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland and was published in international academic journal Nature’s Neuropsychopharmacology.
