Marijuana use has also been shown to increase the risk of mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, psychosis, and schizophrenia in teens and young adults. This risk is greater among young people who use cannabis more often and who use cannabis with a higher THC content. New research has shown that more potent marijuana and more frequency of use are contributing to higher rates of psychosis in young people.
