Negative Effects of Cannabis Use

Regular cannabis use has been found to have negative consequences, contradicting the perception of it being harmless. Studies reveal that marijuana is a leading cause of workplace accidents, increases the risk of schizophrenia among young men, and is closely linked to depression and bipolar disorder. A 30-year study of 6.5 million Danish citizens found that cannabis use significantly raises the chances of developing clinical depression and bipolar disorder, particularly for those with cannabis addiction. The risk of psychosis is higher for men, increasing with prolonged use.
