Cannabis Users Have More Mental Health Problems

Cannabis Users Have More Mental Problems

According to a study by the Dutch Central Bureau of Statistics, cannabis users are twice as likely to suffer mental health problems as those that don't use it.

Around 4% of people aged between 15 and 65 admitted to smoking cannabis between 2007 and 2009. A quarter of these smoked daily. Around 28% of the women who used cannabis had mental disorders, against 14% of non-smokers. 20% of men suffered problems against nearly 10% of non-smokers.

There was no difference in physical health.

So are cannabis users more likely to have mental health problems, or are people with mental health problems more likely to use cannabis?

They must be using a pretty broad definition of mental disorder
to get 10 and 14% amongst non-smokers.

Perhaps there should be more concern about why the levels are so
high amongst the non-smoking public, given that only 4% of the
populace are dope smokers.

Personally, I'm quite happy to be outside the 'normal' classification,
after seeing the insanities perpetrated by normal folk.
