The escalating use of cannabis, particularly the increase in THC levels, has been linked to a higher risk of developing schizophrenia. Evidence shows that 18 million daily cannabis users in the U.S. face a 14 times greater chance of hospitalization for cannabis-related health problems leading to schizophrenia. Those hospitalized for cannabis-induced psychosis have a 241 times higher risk of subsequent schizophrenia. These findings suggest that rising THC potency, especially among vulnerable populations such as younger users and those with mental health predispositions, poses serious health risks.
The analysis showed that 18 million Americans using cannabis daily face a significantly increased risk of developing schizophrenia, with 14 times higher hospitalization rates for cannabis-related issues.
Researchers identified a staggering 241 times higher risk for schizophrenia among patients needing hospitalization for cannabis-induced psychosis, which manifests through hallucinations and delusions.
