The Canadian Centre on Substance Abuse (CCSA) has released an engaging learning module that provides evidence-based information on the effects of cannabis use during adolescence. The module is based on CCSA's report on the psychological, social and health-related effects of marijuana use among young people. It's a great resource for parents, teachers, health care providers, social workers and anyone else concerned about the well-being of young people. The module covers four far-reaching questions:
- How does cannabis use affect the brain and behaviour of young people?
- Is there a link between cannabis use and mental health?
- Is cannabis addictive?
- What interventions are available for cannabis use disorders?
