Base cannabis use warnings on scientific evidence

A letter from UBC’s Stephanie Lake of the BC Centre for Excellence in HIV/AIDS and UBC medicine professor M-J Milloy was published in the Vancouver Sun in response to an op-ed that said adolescent cannabis use increases the risk of developing schizophrenia.

“After intense study, scientists have concluded the evidence to date does not support the claim that cannabis causes schizophrenia,” the letter said.

The article also appeared in the Ottawa Citizen.
