Cannabis linked to psychosis reduction

Research in Australia suggests cannabis contains a compound that may
help to reduce psychosis.

Consumption of cannabis has previously been linked with an increased
risk of psychosis because of the effects of tetrahydrocannabinol which
creates a "high".

However, a researcher at Melbourne's Monash University says another
compound called cannabidiol has been found to reduce drug-induced
behavioural disturbances in mice.

Leonora Long says the compound could be developed to treat people with
schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders.

Ms Long says researchers now plan to investigate how the two compounds
interact.

whoa whoa whoa... lets settle down. I'm laughing right now due to the fact that the government says it can cause psychosis. Another lie they put into everyones heads.
