I don't think dramatically. I think we're pretty comparable. I mean, for cannabis rates, I would say they're almost the same. I've not seen β sure, you might get some regional differences. Like we β I think Quebec has much lower rates of cannabis use than some other parts of Canada. And you guys probably in some southern states maybe are a bit different than other states.

So I don't know about that. But again, overall at a federal level, I think the β which is where most of the data aggregates, I would say that they're pretty comparable with each other. They're not wildly different at all. And again, even if you talk about climate, a lot of the US is a lot warmer than Canada. And you guys are certainly closer to the equator than we are.

So I mean, we know like you do see higher rates of schizophrenia in urban settings than you do in rural settings.

There's other, I mean, you also have more like, there's just, yeah, there's a lot of transitory populations that come in and out of cities that you don't see as much in rural communities. There's a lot more mental health services. There's other variables that can influence that. No one's really, I think, sussed out a mechanism to explain why you see that.

So there are things that shift across places, but I don't think it has anything to do with the rates of cannabis use. And I mean, the other thing that became very interesting in this whole debate over the last 15 odd years that people have really been talking about this a lot more is the fact that

There's also been several studies now that have done genetics either at the GWAS level or just even just looking at polygenic risk scores. And there's at least three papers that I can think of off the top of my head that I could put the citations down for for sure after this that do β

look at this from a somewhat, let's say, unbiased perspective where they see, you know, there's certainly some genetic architecture that relates to people either initiating cannabis use or people developing cannabis use disorder. And there's clearly some genetic architecture that relates to risk for schizophrenia.
