Cannabis causes chaos in the brain as nerve activity becomes uncoordinated and inaccurate, a study has found.
The results may help explain links between cannabis and schizophrenia, scientists believe.
Researchers at the University of Bristol measured the brain responses of rats given a drug that mimics the psychoactive ingredient in cannabis.
They found that the drug completely disrupted co-ordinated brain waves across the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex.
