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: 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.
