Cannabis Use and Mental Health Risk

Presentation Slides

As research expands to examine the impact of cannabis use on health, there is growing evidence that THC, the main intoxicant in the plant, poses a significant mental health risk to individuals, particularly if the person is currently suffering from or has a vulnerability to mental illness. This webinar will review the empirical science on this issue, including the issue of CBD and mental health, and prevention and treatment implications.
