Mike on Crime

MONTREAL — A new study suggests frequent cannabis use is far worse for teenage brains than originally suspected.
The McGill University study, published in Neurobiology of Disease, suggests daily marijuana use among teens can affect compounds in the brain which help control mood and anxiety.
The study by Dr. Gabriella Gobbi and her team at the Research Institute of the McGill University Health Centre, suggests that daily cannabis consumption can lead to depression and anxiety.
And the study, conducted on 18 rats, suggests the long-term effects are irreversible.
Gobbi says she’d like to conduct a study on teen humans to confirm the findings.
Statistics indicate that Canadian teens are among the largest users of cannabis in the world.
