Thank you, Chair.
With regard to the previous questioner, my colleague from across the floor, I hope that our doctors are warning their patients what we have heard at this committee, that marijuana can lead to psychosis, schizophrenia, deadly heart arrhythmia, and double the risk of vehicular accidents; and can lead to addiction, cancers, and permanent damage to the prefrontal cortex of their brains. I hope that's what our doctors are telling patients, that is, the doctors who are prescribing marijuana or are asked questions about it.
Dr. Le Foll, you said that the more widely a drug is used, the more impact it has on society, and that in terms of harm, alcohol is second after tobacco because of the rate it's used.
So conceivably, if marijuana is used at a higher rate, for example at the same rate alcohol is, it could over time be proven, by epidemiological studies, to be as deadly as alcohol or tobacco. Is that correct?
