Elevated THC Concentrations Causing Increased Addiction, Review Finds

CNN (7/25, LaMotte) reports a systematic review found that “higher concentrations of tetrahydrocannabinol or THC – the part of the marijuana plant that makes you high – are causing more people to become addicted in many parts of the world.” Researchers found that “compared with people who use lower-potency products (typically 5 to 10 milligrams per gram of THC), those who use higher-potency cannabis are more likely to experience addiction and mental health outcomes, according to the study published” in The Lancet Psychiatry.
