And everyone just generally, depending on their perspective, thinks that I have a bias kind of going in one way or the other. And I'm very... you know, want it this way or want it this way. And at the end of the day, I'm just like, no, I just like data. So I'm like, I'm going to try and answer things as best I can with that. And to me, that's the perspective I've maintained.

And I do think that, like, these aren't trivial questions because when we went through the legalization process in Canada, this was something that came up again and again and again was this association with schizophrenia.

And in the UK, this is something that comes up again and again and again because whenever there's any discussion about the UK moving forward to legalization, these ideas come back. And so the public health kind of consequence of this is not intangible. And so for people to be making these very strong causality arguments and having this kind of opinion that a lot of people just take up –

I think can have a lot of influence. And so that's why, like, there's literally no reason I should have a dog in this fight. I don't study schizophrenia in any capacity. And it's not my area of research, but because I'm in the cannabis field, I always feel very strongly that we need to maintain clarity over what the data says and not get caught in these opinion-based arguments.

And I feel like this is one of these areas that has just kind of, the amount of people I talk to that regularly tell me that they know that cannabis causes schizophrenia and they're terrified if someone uses it because it's going to caused them to become schizophrenic, I am just kind of shocked by. So this has clearly permeated the general population that there's a widespread belief of this.

Yeah. And I mean, I think, again, this is, again, no endorsement that that doesn't mean that it's safe and that it's without harm. I'm just strong of the opinion that I don't think individuals with schizophrenia or who have, you know, first degree relatives should use cannabis because I think there's a high degree of risk there.

But that's a very different argument than making saying cannabis causes schizophrenia. And if we remove it from society, we'll see drops in rates of schizophrenia. I don't believe there's any evidence that actually could support that. So... It's just a nuanced argument, and this is a good thing about more of a long-form podcast is it allows for nuance.
