I can't remember exactly the way that you described it.

I mean, I think this is what happens when you have I mean, obviously, you're familiar with this. In science, there's different, you know, some things that we can be a little bit more definitive about. And then there's some things that we just can't know for certain. It's just the way it is because of the way that we gather data and because of the way humans are.

And this isn't a question I believe we can ask from an animal model perspective in the same capacity. So I don't think anyone would deny, at least anyone who's read the literature, that there's this relationship between cannabis use, especially in adolescents, and the development of schizophrenia.

Now, my perspective on this is, and I'll explain why I have this perspective and how I justify it, is to me, cannabis is fuel on a fire. So if someone is prone to developing schizophrenia, adding cannabis into the mix I think will make it kick in faster and harder. So if there is a genetic vulnerability for developing schizophrenia or some biological predisposition that's there,

I would say in that situation, cannabis can trigger an initial onset of the first episode, and it can make the prognosis of the disease in the long term a lot worse, let's say.

I mean, I've never heard that, but that would be a stressor, and stressors are other ways. I mean, a lot of... you know, the situations where, uh, I mean, some of it's the age, but like, you know, for example, if someone is prone to develop schizophrenia, they move away to college.

Even that stressor can be something that brings on an episode, but cannabis very specifically, like different than any other drugs like alcohol or cigarettes, as far as I understand it, at least the temporal relationship between cannabis use and the development of a first episode can be pretty linked. Um,
