Focus: Cannabis psychosis
Guardian Unlimited – Feb 19, 2006
Young people in the UK use more cannabis than their peers on the continent. In the UK, latest statistics reveal that 1 per cent of all 11-year-olds, 17 per cent of 14-year-olds and 26 per cent of 15-year-olds used cannabis last year. Cannabis, or marijuana, comes in different forms. Hash, the resin of the plant, is less expensive than grass or weed, which is the plant’s dried leaves. ‘Skunk’, at around £200 an ounce, is herbal cannabis grown from selected seeds by intensive indoor methods. Skunk is twice as potent, on average, than hash or weed. Some say the increase in psychosis and schizophrenia is because skunk is more readily available and easier to obtain than hash or grass, but other professionals believe that the market is simply responding to demand for the more ‘mind-blowing’ version.
