➡️ Review: current evidence is not sufficient to support cannabis for treating mental health conditions and shows substantial risks, including worsening mania or psychotic symptoms in some groups. Clinicians should discuss cannabis use with patients. 🔗 https://f.mtr.cool/wccrnbpzen #CannabisResearch
➡️ In a 2023 U.S. survey of 10,255 cannabis users, ~6% reported past-year cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome. Higher likelihood was linked with younger age, male sex, frequent edibles/concentrates, riskier use & past-year alcohol use. 🔗 https://f.mtr.cool/wusfwgswfv #CannabisResearch
