Rising cannabis use linked to higher rates of anxiety and depression: study cp24.com/news/canada/20…








More powerful than USA winning gold in hockey was when the team invited the kids of their deceased teammate onto the ice. Johnny Gaudreau lost his life to a drunk driver in 2024. Want to honor him and his family? Don’t drink and drive. RIP Gaudreau.

1/New study in @JAMAHealthForum, led by @KPDOR & co-authored by researchers at @phidotorg, @UCSF, & @USC finds past-year #cannabis use during adolescence is associated with a significantly higher risk of incident psychotic (2Xs), bipolar (2Xs), depressive & anxiety disorders.





In sum: Evidence suggests a link between rising cannabis use and increased rates of schizophrenia or psychosis in U.S. and globally-especially with regular, high-potency (%THC) use, during adolescence; risk of developing schizophrenia in vulnerable individuals can quadruple.
