CNN (5/27, Lamotte) reports researchers “surveyed more than 1,000 UK residents who reported marijuana use in the past year,” finding that “high-potency weed users appear to have a significant increase in the likelihood of developing generalized anxiety disorder [GAD] than those who smoke less robust strains of marijuana.” What’s more, “high-potency weed users are more likely to use weed at least once a week, twice as likely to have used illicit drugs within the past 12 months, and more than three times as likely to be tobacco smokers,” the study revealed. The findings were published online May 27 in JAMA Psychiatry.
