MARIJUANA CAN MAKE YOU CRAZY, STUDY SUGGESTS

LONDON -- Using marijuana increases the risk of one day developing a
psychotic illness such as schizophrenia, according to a study that
provides some of the strongest evidence yet linking the drug to a
mental disorder.

The researchers found that marijuana users had a 41 per cent increased
chance of developing psychosis marked by symptoms of hallucinations or
delusions later in life than those who never used the drug.

The country with the heaviest use of marijuana in the industrialized
world is Canada.
