Healio (4/1, Weller) reports, “In a longitudinal analysis of twins, those who used cannabis more often than their identical twin during adolescence had worse socioeconomic outcomes in early adulthood,” investigators concluded after analyzing “data from three longitudinal studies involving 3,762 twins, including 2,410 monozygotic twins,” then using “a continuous adolescent cannabis use index and compared psychiatric, cognitive and socioeconomic outcomes – including educational attainment, occupational status and income – between twins through early adulthood.” The findings were published online April 6 in PNAS.
