1/ @LondonNadeau @jennav5 & myself did not ignore or minimize the risks of cannabis in our opinion editorial @drrobbietee @DrCharlEls @tibbop @sudschool @CPA_APC @csam_smca @jonathanstea @eksogenisk @AMC_Signpost @hakique @tomfolanmd @melrod42

*Multi post thread*

2/ We had a limited word count and could not cover additional topics such as youth & evidence for use etc.

Unfortunately @globeandmail @GlobeDebate created a clickbait title here which did not do us justice.

3/ We acknowledged that THC can cause psychosis in certain individuals

Risk factors:
-Heavy THC use
-Daily THC use
-Genetic Predisposition: may account for 69-84% of the link btw cannabis & psychosis

The majority of cannabis users do not experience psychosis/schizophrenia

4/ Our purpose was to provide a basic understanding of general public cannabis consumption & risk of psychosis. @jennav5 @LondonNadeau

5/ We discussed the difference between association & causation @AVoineskos

Bottom line: With an increase in cannabis consumption we have not seen an increase incidence in psychosis at a population level

6/ As you recall @drrobbietee, I coauthored the only article on “how to” administer & dose cannabis.

Read it here bit.ly/2xUgpgh

Is why you invited me to speak at your cannabis conference last year?

@AVoineskos @DrCharlEls @tibbop @sudschool @CPA_APC @csam_smca

7/ Thanks for the healthy dialog on cannabis. Many other related area to cover @LondonNadeau @jennav5 .

Stay tuned...
