As additional states in the U.S. legalize marijuana for recreational purposes, a new report from the United Nations finds that hospitalizations for cannabis-use disorders are growing in the country.
In addition, among those who use cannabis regularly, psychiatric disorders, including suicidal ideation and attempted suicide, are on the rise, particular among young adults.
The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime “2024 World Drug Report” also noted that harmful use of the drug has increased among young adults. In addition, cannabis products have become more diversified, leading to many with high THC content.
“While legalization has not so far led to an increase in cannabis smoking among adolescents (for whom access to the non-medical market remains prohibited), it seems that the regular vaping of cannabis has increased in recent years among this population group, raising new concerns,” the report states.
