Cannabis loses appeal for young people
A new study has found a third of young Australians think using cannabis is unacceptable, and the majority believe it is a dangerous drug.
The report by the National Drug and Alcohol Research Centre has found half of people think cannabis can lead to schizophrenia and depression.
It also found half of people under 30 have friends who use cannabis, but a third of those surveyed find the practice unacceptable.
