Hospital patients and emergency room diagnosed with hemp – it is defined as an inability to stop using hemp even when the drug causes harm – He died about three times Among the individuals who do not have disturbance over the next five years, according to a study published on Thursday, the largest on this topic.
Patients with hemp used 10 times would have died due to suicide, such as those in the general population. They were also more likely to die than shock, drug poisoning and lung cancer. The researchers said that these numbers indicate that the disorder of the use of hemp is a serious half such as opioid addiction and a little less serious than alcohol use.
Another report, published on Tuesday, found that more schizophrenia and psychosis in Canada had been linked to the hemp used since the drug was legalized.
“Many people think,” Oh, hemp is not harmful – it’s organic, it’s normal; Dr. Laura Beirut, a psychiatrist at the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Washington in Saint Louis, who is the author of a book, said, who is the author of a book “, who is the author of a book”, who is the author of a book “, who is the author of a book”, who is the author of a book “, who is the author of a book And she is the author of a book, “and she is a psychiatrist at the Faculty of Medicine at Washington University in Saint Louis, and she is the author A psychiatrist at the Faculty of Medicine at Washington University in Saint Louis, a author of her book An editorial accompanies a death risk study. She said that the marijuana sold today is more powerful and more harmful, which is smoked by children’s children in the 1960s and 1970s.
Dr. Beirut said: “It is a threat to public health just like alcohol.”
Recent research indicates this Three out of 10 hemp users The disorder of the use of hemp, which is defined, will develop that it is unable to stop using hemp although it causes serious health and social problems. As with alcohol, many people are used in entertainment without negative effects or addiction.
The researchers benefited from the records of Ontario, which captures millions of people’s meetings with the government health system, which covers 97 percent of the population there.
From the records, the scientists in Thursday’s study identified 106,994 people who were diagnosed with the disturbance of hemp during a visit or circle in the emergency circle between 2006 and 2021.
The researchers linked the records to vital statistics records and found that 3.5 percent of them died within five years of treatment for disorder. In an identical comparative group of people of the same age and sex, the death rate was 0.6 percent.
The authors then made adjustments to the calculation of other risk factors that may have contributed to their deaths, including mental health disorders, other drug use and conditions such as heart disease and cancer.
Even when taking deaths by these other causes outside the equation, the researchers concluded that patients with hemp were at an increasing risk of death 2.8 times compared to the general population. The danger was greater for young people between the ages of 25 and 44.
Dr. Daniel Miran, Assistant Professor of Family Medicine at the University of Ottawa and the author of the first study, indicated that these are probably reduces the estimate of the number of hemp.
“Our estimation is that every person treating Code there is another three who did not ask for care,” he said. “So this is not just a code, but bad enough because they sought to take care of it.”
He also pointed out that the study cannot define categorically whether the hemp itself increased the risk of death, or whether lifestyle or other health factors that are more common among heavy hemp users.
He said: “In both cases, this group is really really highly dangerous, and it can benefit from intervention, monitoring and prevention.”
On Tuesday, the research group itself published a study Psychology and schizophrenia rates.
The use of hemp has been associated with the development of schizophrenia, which is a serious mental illness, as well as transient psychotic rings that have a loss of reality. Some research did not find any correlation between the legalization of hemp and an increase in these disorders, but many studies are very small so that the changes in the spread of psychotic disorders are not discovered, which are rare.
The new study analyzed hemp psychosis in Canada during three periods: before the country was legally made legally (2006 to 2015), amid the use of medical and non-medical cannabis expand (2015-2018) and after using entertainment for legal hemp (2018 to 2022).
Schizophrenia rates were stable over time. However, the percentage of cases due to the disorder of the use of cannabis increased to 10.3 percent during the legalization period, up from 3.7 percent before legalization. The rate of psychosis (without diagnosing schizophrenia) is almost doubled after two tenderness.
Judy Gilman, Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical Faculty, who wrote Comment on the study.
“This is a period of life when the brain is still developing and is still vulnerable to hemp,” said Dr. Gilman. It is also known that psychosis and schizophrenia are developing in a small adulthood, “so you have a double blow.”
