What Parents Need to Know about Adolescent Marijuana Cannabis Use and Youth Development: The Latest Scientific Research
Featured expert: Dr Janni Leung
ORIGINAL WEBINAR: FRIDAY, MAY 28, 2021
Handouts available at https://johnnysambassadors.org/ja210528/
Description
This webinar summarises evidence on the effects of cannabis use on the development of adolescents and young adults. It draws on epidemiological studies, neuroimaging studies, case-control studies, and twin and Mendelian randomisation studies. It presents evidence from the latest research on the relationship between cannabis use with acute effects, accidents and injuries, cannabis dependence, cognition, education, other drug use, psychosis, depression, anxiety, bipolar, suicidality, and antisocial behaviour. It evaluates evidence surrounding observations after the legalization of cannabis for adult use. The webinar concludes that the regulation of cannabis after legalisation needs to minimise adolescent uptake and cannabis-related adverse developmental outcomes.
Learning Objectives

To share findings from the latest research that examined how cannabis use may affect the development of young people.
