Current Psychiatry Online looks at the evidence on whether cannabis contributes to psychotic illness, and concludes:
Psychiatric practitioners can play an important role in making young people aware of the mental health risks of using marijuana. Marijuana use fluctuates population-wide, depending in part on public perception of its harmfulness. Its use may diminish, therefore, as information on its mental health hazards percolates into high schools and the community at large. We also have the duty to make policy makers and legislators aware of this information.
