Your cannabis use is not going to help. Yeah, yeah, yeah. One large study, like almost 7 million people in Denmark, showed that if we could target just men between the ages 21 to 30, if we just had that one target and prevented cannabis use disorder in that subsegment of the population, we would have 30% less schizophrenia.
What happens when the highs of cannabis use turn into a daily struggle? Dr. Meg Haney, a neurobiology professor at Columbia University Medical Center, joins Dr. Roneet Lev on 'High Truths on Drugs and Addiction' to explore this question.
