This article has been mentioned by a media organization:

Dan Conifer (11 July 2016). "Pauline Hanson: Text slabs from One Nation party policies lifted from internet, including Wikipedia". Australian Broadcasting Corporation. Retrieved 11 July 2016.

This article was created or improved during WikiProject Cannabis' "420 Collaboration" in 2020.

Opening sentence - definition

This revert was justified because the edit proposes medical cannabis as an "idea". Sources in the lede show medical cannabis exists as a prescription drug in some cases and the Society and culture section shows its use as a legalized generic drug or prescribed medicine in many countries. The proposed first sentence by Rebroad is opinion that could be developed with facts and WP:RS sources in the Society and culture section. Zefr (talk) 21:59, 12 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The entry for China makes it pretty clear that cannabis was used medicinally in ancient times. I'm not sure why there needs to be some type of modern legalistic or state-centric bona-fides for this? Valgrus Thunderaxe (talk) 20:32, 23 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Risk of schizophrenia in adolescents

The wording of this in the article is somewhat misleading. Cannabis use has never caused schizophrenia but can catalyze existing cases of prodromal schizophrenia. This is elucidated in the whitepaper that is cited as the source for this statement: To be clear, the use of cannabis in adolescence does not cause schizophrenia but increases the risk of its onset, suggesting interplay between marijuana use and genetic predisposition for schizophrenia.

Also, it would be helpful to link to the full text of the paper rather than just the abstract. A full text is publicly available at the following link: https://accpjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/phar.1187 12.227.70.210 (talk) 15:17, 1 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The Borgelt source is properly cited and linked. It is a little old now. A more recent source like PMID:31708042 provides better knowledge of the phenomenon of cannabis-induced psychosis in adolescents. Bon courage (talk) 15:30, 1 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Outdated research - edit of 02-19-2022

Not sure I follow the logic of @Zefr: "move to Research section - not a medical use; trim excessive narrative and primary + outdated recreational research".

The edit left the older review from 2019 while removing the newer review from 2022. Also removed the study that best demonstrates the bias in these studies. Badgettrg (talk) 04:33, 20 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
