“if you wanted to prevent schizophrenia, the easiest thing to do, in quotes around the word easiest, is get young people not to smoke any cannabis. That would prevent a lot of schizophrenia. Good luck with that, by the way.”
Podcast conversation with Jazz Glastra about prevention. Citing data (Christoph Correll, spelled 'Carell' in the transcript) on ultra-high-risk individuals converting to schizophrenia, the author claims reducing youth cannabis use would prevent a lot of schizophrenia, while doubting such a reduction can be achieved. Restated at the end: 'You could prevent schizophrenia by reducing the rates of cannabis use.'
