1. The article's title is meaningless

    This article is poorly written. It certainly makes me doubt the veracity of the content.

    What does the title 'Cannabis withdrawal clinically significant in schizophrenia' mean?

    Schizophrenia is a noun regarding the mental condition (whereas it sounds like the author meant people suffering from schizophrenia), so is this mental state associated with withdrawing from cannabis? If I want to quit cannabis, would it help if I became schizophrenic? Haha

    I like to drink a coffee every morning when I wake up. If I don't have coffee in the morning, I suffer from withdrawal symptoms. My most common coffee withdrawal symptoms are cravings (59.2%), feeling anxious (52.6%), feeling bored (47.5%), feeling sad or depressed (45.8%), feeling irritable or jumpy (45.0%), and feeling restless (43.3%).

    Perhaps in some very rare instances cannabis consumption can lead to schizophrenia, but alcohol which is legal is far more likely to lead a substance abuser to mental problems. And the world has countless millions of casual cannabis users who will never ever develop mental problems.
