Epidemiology of cannabis use

Epidemiology of cannabis use studies how cannabis affects populations, including trends in who uses it, reasons for use, and its health impacts. Factors like age, location, and social norms influence usage patterns. Recent legalization in various places has led to increased research on both medicinal and recreational use. Cannabis can affect mental health and addiction potential, particularly among young people. Understanding these patterns helps inform public health policies, prevention strategies, and educational efforts about the benefits and risks associated with cannabis use.
