Government Study on 4,000 Teens in Australia and New Zealand Claims Link Between Marijuana Use and Suicide (Sort of)

0


A study out of Australia and New Zealand this week claims that daily pot use by teens leads to more than half dropping out of school, and greatly increases the likelihood that they’ll drop out of college, try to kill themselves and if they’ll end up on welfare.
But they aren’t really saying that. They actually say they found no “causal” relationship between pot and depression, only increased odds of a link. They also say didn’t find enough evidence to support their claim that adolescent teen users were seven times more likely to kill themselves. But that doesn’t stop them from spreading the fear around just the same.
