"Wonder drug" gotta few glitches------Teens who Smoke Cannabis Daily 'Seven Times More Likely to Commit Suicide'

Teens who Smoke Cannabis Daily 'Seven Times More Likely to Commit Suicide':
"Teenagers who start smoking cannabis daily before the age of 17 are seven times more likely to commit suicide, a study has found.
According to the paper, published in the Lancet Psychiatry journal, youths who smoke marijuana on a daily basis are also 60% less likely to finish high school.
Researchers led by the National Drug and Alcohol Research Centre at the University of New South Wales analysed results of three large, long-running studies from Australia and New Zealand involving nearly 3,800 people.
They examined the connections between the frequency of cannabis use before age 17 - ranging from never to daily - and seven developmental outcomes assessed up to age 30, including frequency of suicide attempts, high-school completion and attainment of university degree by age 25.
...The findings showed a link between a considerable use of cannabis and a high risk of suicide as well as poor educational outcomes.
Researchers also found that teenagers who use cannabis very often are at an eight times greater risk of using other illegal drugs in their twenties, and they can also develop an addiction to marijuana."
