- Someone did a test with mice, where they had mice learn the location of a platform in murky water. Then they exposed one group to cannabis at an early age, another group at micy adolecence and finally one group was not exposed. Both the group that was not exposed and the adolescence group could a few days later find the platform again. The group of mice that was exposed in childhood performed far worse. This proved that the use of cannabis at an early age effects the brain far worse than use in puberty or later.
- There is a component in Cannabis called THC which adds to the risk of psychosis. Normally this risk is 1%, with cannabis it increases to 2-6%. There is also a component called CBD which is an antipsychotic. Unfortunately recreational cannabis very often does not contain any CBD.
- There is a cannabis farm somewhere in England where Cannabis is produced legally for medicinal purposes. The cannabis is turned into drops. In Canada Cannabis is used in a spray for multiple sclerosis to alleviate pain.
