Health written question – answered at on 15 January 2004.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health what research his Department has commissioned into cannabis use and schizophrenia.
Department of Health-funded research completed last year recognised that, while a causative link between early cannabis use and later development of schizophrenia and depression is not conclusively proven, recent epidemiological research has shown a stronger association than was previously evident. Although we have not commissioned further specific research into cannabis and schizophrenia, the Department monitors research is this area and has a range of expert advisers to inform policy.
