Abstract in brief

Research over the past 20 years indicates that cannabis use is linked to increased risks of car crashes, dependence, and various mental health issues, especially when used regularly during adolescence.
Cannabis use during adolescence doubles the chances of dropping out of school, developing cognitive issues, and experiencing psychoses later in life, with some evidence suggesting a causal relationship.
While cannabis smoking may raise the risk of cardiovascular problems in middle-aged adults, its impact on respiratory health remains unclear due to common tobacco co-use; overall, evidence suggests cannabis can lead to accidents, dependence, and adverse mental health outcomes.]
