TL;DR: A GWAS of lifetime cannabis use reveals new risk loci, shows that cannabis use has genetic overlap with smoking and alcohol use, and indicates that the likelihood of initiating cannabis use is causally influenced by schizophrenia.

TL;DR: This study identifies a novel locus for neuroticism located in a known gene that has been associated with bipolar disorder and schizophrenia in previous studies and shows that neuroticism is influenced by many genetic variants of small effect that are either common or tagged by common variants.

Genetic and environmental influences on cannabis use initiation and problematic use: a meta‐analysis of twin studies

TL;DR: Vulnerability to both cannabis use initiation and problematic use was influenced significantly by A, C and E, and there was a trend for a greater C and lesser A component for Cannabis use initiation compared to problematic use for females.

TL;DR: This genome-wide association study of same-sex sexual behavior identifies loci associated with human sexual orientation that suggest links to biological pathways that involve sex hormone regulation and olfaction and investigates the biology and complexity of the trait.

TL;DR: In a sample of 2082 healthy individuals, an association is shown between an individual’s burden of schizophrenia risk alleles and use of cannabis, suggesting that part of the association between schizophrenia and cannabis is due to a shared genetic aetiology.
