Cannabis no worse than drinking shock
Not sure how much money or time they spent coming up with this great revelation, but a team of researchers has discovered that teenagers who smoke cannabis are no more likely to go off the rails than those that drink or smoke cigarettes.According to the Times report, the other earth-shattering finding was that there was "no association between cannabis and withdrawn behaviour, such as psychosis, but (the researchers did) not rule out the possibility that there is a group of vulnerable young people using the drug who are at increased risk of depression."
Next week, a groundbreaking report on how some teenagers don't get on with their parents.
