The Societal Implications of Rising Cannabis Use Amongst Young People
The rising rates of cannabis use amongst young people can lead to various societal implications like increased risk of lung diseases, hindering the development of youth which may affect their mental health, education, and cognitive abilities. Concerns also arise about the failure of society in addressing these issues, with parents often unaware of the risks. Professionals and caregivers need to be vigilant towards adolescents using cannabis, as it is linked to higher chances of depression, suicidal thoughts, poor academic performance, and cognitive issues. However, cannabis is not a suitable treatment for depression as various evidence-based interventions like physical activity, exposure to nature, social connections, psychotherapy, and medications are more effective and carry fewer risks compared to cannabis.
