Summary

Analyzing medical data from 6 million people, researchers in Denmark have found that up to 30% of schizophrenia cases among young men could be linked to marijuana use. Increased potency of marijuana in the global market is a factor, and lawmakers have "decreas[ed] the public's perception of its harm," according to the study's lead author. 

The law is a teacher. Legalizing marijuana use essentially teaches constituents that marijuana is safe. Except it isn't Legalizing pot was, especially early on, sold as a way of helping sick people. But cannabis is the only substance I can think of approved for medical use and then legalized for recreation 

As far as the cannabis industry is concerned, which is estimated this year to be worth 32 billion dollars, it has never really been about health. As more and more evidence emerges that pot is not as safe as the public was sold, we'll learn whether it's possible to put this genie back in its bottle.
