    Much needed evidence about cannabis use in adolescents

    This is an excellent body of work and so important. Concrete evidence about the effects of marijuana on the developing brain is much needed. The behaviours that we observe, after some young people smoke pot, need to be accurately defined and communicated to the public. Describing the physiology associated with the observed differences in the brain will be an excellent way forward. There is some recent evidence that genetic susceptibility is associated in some individuals with drug habits in a case-control genome-wide association study identifying variants on chromosome 7p14.1 in patients from the United Arab Emirates (see references below).
