    Just to add to your (excellent) comment; in the UK you can be prescribed medical marijuana but it has to be done by a consultant level doctor and a multi disciplinary trial. The most important disqualifying factor is any history of psychosis, if they see that on your medical records they will not write you a prescription.

    So I would a assume there is some published medical literature they are following which states cannabis exacerbates the symptoms of psychosis.
