GOING TO POT
Party a lot? You could pay later. Three new studies found that teens
who smoke marijuana "frequently" (read: weekly or more) may have a
greater chance of becoming depressed or schizophrenic; the risk
apparently increases with frequency and age--the younger a kid starts,
the higher the risk.
Had the odd joint? Relax: The studies, in the current British Medical Journal,
say occasional use doesn't seem to be harmful.
