Daily consumption of cannabis in teens have an irreversible long-term effect on the brain due to decreased serotonin and increased dopamine, both involved with mood control, anxiety and stress. G. Gobbi, Research Institute, McGill University Health Centre
The risks of depression, attempted suicide(x7), use of illegal drugs (x18), and dependence on social welfare increased, while completion of high school or college decreased relative to dose, with daily cannabis users showing the strongest effects. F. Silins, University of New South Wales
cannabis
Individuals who are daily users of cannabis before age 17 are over 60% less likely to complete high school or obtain a degree compared to those who have never used the drug. The Lancet Journal of Psychiatry
