Dr. Matthew Hill: How Cannabis Impacts Health & the Potential Risks

I wouldn't say... I mean, there's certainly... Cannabis is used in tandem with other drugs, alcohol, psychedelics at times for sure. But that being said, I mean, there is clearly a population of people that use cannabis as their only drug that they use. I don't think that's that uncommon. But in the context of the psychosis stuff, I would definitely say – Sure.

I mean, if someone mixed it with amphetamine or something, you could have a very unpredictable response. But I mean, I think the psychotic responses that have been documented are usually purely due to cannabis. Like it's not necessarily due to some kind of drug interaction there.

There is something about the way that cannabis is changing the way the brain functions in a way that for people who seem to be prone to this, they can have a psychotic response. Again, I don't think it's a very typical thing, but... And we're talking about what that means in the context of like an actual disorder, like a chronic disorder like schizophrenia, which is characterized by psychosis.

I think we're talking about a whole different ballgame here. And this is an area that is, I mean, I think it's an important thing to discuss in the context of science because you can't establish causality. Like in my view, it's virtually impossible because there's just no way to control all the variables that play into this. What we can say definitively is that

individuals who have schizophrenia, first of all, they use cannabis at a higher rate than the general population. That's very clear. Yeah. They definitely use cannabis at a higher rate than the general population. There is definitely a relationship between using cannabis and having the initiation of the development of schizophrenia.

And this is where a lot of the statistics that have been used to develop the risk assessment essentially like so that you have a greater risk if you know like you were saying if you've used cannabis as a teenager you use high potency as a lot of the research has shown though they've done these studies and they say it relates to um a greater risk of schizophrenia essentially

This is just a statistical association that they found that people who use cannabis, the conversion into schizophrenia happens at a higher rate and there's more people with schizophrenia who are using cannabis.

To be honest, in all the research I've – in all the literature I've read on this, I don't ever remember there being clear sex descriptions of the differences of males and females. I mean, again, historically, cannabis was more used by males than females, so that could lean towards any bias that may be out there in the media or the popular – like just in general, what people talk about.
