Bold and important findings in peer reviewed journal:

“Adolescent cannabis use is not associated with structural brain differences in adulthood”

Trajectory analysis requires good longitudinal data. Start planning data collection now, meangingful findings later

A timely and needed for some balanced thinking and regulating of #cannabis by our governments. The Americans are coming and the choices we make today will shape Canada’s cannabis industry. Do we want to be leaders or cultivators?

Kudos Sheila. The PM has a responsibility to protect 10,000 jobs. Does anybody think the US, the French, the Chinese or the Brits would behave differently?

#PL2 le débat est commencé. Tous les partis s'y opposent: augmenter l'âge légal de conso enrichira le crime organisé qui alimentera les 18-20 ans et l'interdiction de consommer dans rues et lieux publics est vue comme une atteinte à l'autonomie des municipalités #polqc #cannabis
