Teenagers who use marijuana are much more likely to develop psychotic disorders

A new study released last week revealed links between teenagers who use marijuana and an increased risk of dangerous mental health disorders.

Researchers from the University of Toronto found that teenagers who used marijuana in some form in the last year were 11 times more likely to develop a psychotic disorder compared to teenagers who did not use the drug, NBC News reported. The study was published in the journal Psychological Medicine and released on Wednesday.
