Cannabis is a risk factor in schizophrenia, but it is a million miles from being the risk factor. Happy, healthy young people with stable family lives rarely use cannabis on a daily basis; conversely, people with troubled childhoods and pre-existing mental health problems are most at risk from heavy cannabis use.
If the goal is preventing severe mental illness, then the best solution we've got right now is coordinated and well-funded multi-agency intervention to support at-risk families and young people.
