Cannabis and the Maturing Brain: Role in Psychosis Development

posted 30/06/2015

publication CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY & THERAPEUTICS | VOLUME 97 NUMBER 6 | JUNE 2015

A common viewpoint has proliferated that cannabis use is mostly harmless. Some argue that by not supporting its use, we are missing a great therapeutic opportunity. The general public view on cannabis may partially be a result of poor knowledge translation. In fact, the “war on drugs” approach has not allowed for basic education on the varied effects of cannabis on the brain, especially at highly critical phases of brain development such as adolescence.
