Cannabis use in psychiatric populations and risk of suicide: A new perspective

In the first study of its kind, a team of researchers in Canada examined marijuana (cannabis) use and the risk of suicidal behavior in psychiatric populations rather than the general population to see if similar results would be found (i.e., marijuana use increases suicidal behaviors). What they found could be used to inform the medical community working with these psychiatric populations in their assessment of suicide risk.
