DOPE USE DOWNER, SAYS STUDY
STUDIES of chronic cannabis users were reinforcing the belief that daily
marijuana smoking could cause depression and possibly suicide in young
adults, mental health group beyondblue said yesterday.
beyondblue spoke out after Melbourne's Royal Children's Hospital released
an outline of seven years research on 2000 young adults.
The director of the hospital's Centre for Adolescent Health Professor
George Patton said the research produced strong evidence that heavy
maruuana users were more prone to depression and mental problems.
