 In a conclusion that won’t please the states that have legalized the recreational use of marijuana, a study found about a third of the psychotic disorders in London are caused by cannabis use.

The study in the Lancet concluded that taking cannabis daily tripled the chances of developing a mental disorder.

The study explained, “Between May 1, 2010, and April 1, 2015, we obtained data from 901 patients with first-episode psychosis across 11 sites and 1,237 population controls from those same sites. Daily cannabis use was associated with increased odds of psychotic disorder compared with never users.”

 

The odds were nearly five times higher “for daily use of high-potency types of cannabis,” the study found.
