Abstract in brief

The text explains that cannabis use has long been linked to psychosis, with recent research highlighting how cannabinoids can cause temporary schizophrenia-like symptoms in healthy people and worsen symptoms in those with existing psychotic disorders.
The development of schizophrenia due to cannabis is complex; only a small percentage of users develop a psychotic illness, suggesting cannabis is a "component cause" that interacts with other factors like genetics and exposure timing, rather than a direct cause on its own.
Researchers are exploring how cannabinoids might influence brain development and neurotransmitter systems (like dopamine, GABA, and glutamate), which could help explain how cannabis increases the risk of psychotic disorders, but the exact mechanisms remain unclear.]

@OsterholzerN @watch_union @tagesschau Inhaltlich sehe ich kein Problem. Gibt diverse wissenschaftliche Publikationen (Beispiel mit zitierten Einzelstudien im Paper: https://t.co/kQG03esmfw). Halte Mitarbeiter des ÖRR nicht für Betrüger. Denke der Journalismus ist nicht perfekt aber auf dem nahezu weltbesten Niveau.
