And so it could be, in my mind, when I look at that, it could be a bit of a vicious cycle, where someone's using it to kind of band-aid one aspect, but making other aspects of the disease worse at the same time. So it can get very complicated, but...

So, I mean, there are various ways of looking at this in terms of, you know, so it's either you could say there's a causal argument, which is made by many saying cannabis causes schizophrenia. And therefore, if we eradicated it, I think you had alluded to something like that in the last podcast, that if you removed it would have this big effect. in terms of reducing schizophrenia rates.

And that's similar to the argument that a lot of the researchers in Britain have made. And I'm not personally convinced of that. And I say that simply because I look at the data from Scandinavia and I'm like, well, there you have a population that barely uses any cannabis and yet their schizophrenia rates are the same. So the only way in my mind

If I look at this kind of scientifically from a data perspective that cannabis could be causing schizophrenia de novo in a subset of people is that there must be an equal proportion of people for whom for some reason and somehow cannabis is preventing them from developing schizophrenia so that it's a zero-sum game at the end of the day and there's no change in rates.

Like I can't actually understand any other model that could explain this. Yeah.

for in like heredity family trees, for example, where you look at something like bipolar schizophrenia, the two do kind of track together. So it's not, I mean, I think it's hard to separate these in some capacity because, you know, I remember years ago at Society for Neuroscience, Glenn Close was one of the, I don't know if you were at that meeting,

Glenn Close was one of the public speakers and she had talked about schizophrenia and her family tree and she kind of put up this family tree of her family and the previous relatives in her family and showed the individuals who had schizophrenia and bipolar as well.
