An umbrella review of studies was conducted to determine which groups might benefit from cannabis use and which groups should avoid the drug.
Teenagers and young adults should avoid trying cannabis, academics have said following a major new review.
The new research, published in the BMJ, found that while cannabis compounds could be helpful for people with certain medical conditions, taking the drug could be detrimental for certain groups of people. The authors said that cannabis should be avoided among young people while their brains were still developing.The researchers argued that most mental illnesses were first identified during teenage years and young adulthood.
Cannabis-based medicines were also found to “improve quality of life” among patients with inflammatory bowel disease and were found to be effective in palliative care.“Convincing or converging evidence recommends avoiding cannabis during adolescence and early adulthood in people prone to have or have mental health disorder, who are pregnant, and while driving,” the authors wrote.
