TLDR
Despite increased cannabis use and a changing state-level policy landscape, conclusive evidence regarding the shortand long-term health effects—both harms and benefits—of cannabis use remains elusive.Abstract:
Recent years have seen a rapid rise in the medical and recreational use of cannabis: a broad term that can be used to describe the various products and chemical compounds (e.g., marijuana, cannabinoids) derived from different species of the cannabis plant. Despite increased cannabis use and a changing state-level policy landscape, conclusive evidence regarding the shortand long-term health effects—both harms and benefits—of cannabis use remains elusive.read more

TL;DR: Both anxious/distressed specifier and mixed-features specifier were associated with early onset, poor course and functioning, and suicidality in US adults, and much remains to be learned about the DSM-5 MDD specifiers in the general population.

TL;DR: Although individual-level risk remains moderate to low and results from this study should be confirmed in future adequately powered prospective studies, the high prevalence of adolescents consuming cannabis generates a large number of young people who could develop depression and suicidality attributable to cannabis.
Journal ArticleDOI
US Epidemiology of Cannabis Use and Associated Problems
TL;DR: An overview of the changing US epidemiology of cannabis use and associated problems suggests national increases in cannabis potency, prenatal and unintentional childhood exposure; and in adults, increased use, CUD, cannabis-related emergency room visits, and fatal vehicle crashes.

TL;DR: It seems unlikely that cannabinoids are highly effective medicines for CNCP, as effects suggest that number needed to treat to benefit is high, and number neededto treat to harm is low, with limited impact on other domains.

TL;DR: There is scarce evidence to suggest that cannabinoids improve depressive disorders and symptoms, anxiety disorders, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, Tourette syndrome, post-traumatic stress disorder, or psychosis.

Journal ArticleDOI
A literature review and meta-analyses of cannabis use and suicidality
TL;DR: The evidence tends to support that chronic cannabis use can predict suicidality, but the lack of homogeneity in the measurement of cannabis exposure and, in some instances, the Lack of systematic control for known risk factors tempered this finding.

Prenatal cannabis exposure and infant outcomes: Overview of studies ☆
TL;DR: An updated overview of studies on prenatal cannabis exposure in humans is presented, and it is concluded that evidence seems to suggest that fetal development is affected by prenatal maternal cannabis use, while findings on effects on infant behavior or cognition are inconsistent.

TL;DR: The relations between PTSD (lifetime and current) and lifetime cannabis use remained statistically significant when adjusting for co-occurring anxiety and mood disorders and trauma type frequency, adding to the emerging literature demonstrating a possibly important relationship between PTSD and cannabis use.
