Text

We performed two-sample Mendelian randomization analyses (MR)22 to examine whether there was evidence for a causal relationship from cannabis use to schizophrenia and vice versa. Analyses were performed with the R package of database and analytical platform MR-Base63 and with the gsmr R package which implements the GSMR (Generalized Summary-data based Mendelian Randomization) method64.
