Actually, the information provided in all of NIDA’s educational materials, including this clip, is based on extensive reviews of articles in peer-reviewed scientific medical journals.

Science has disproved this propaganda based garbage you just spouted with peer reviewed medical journals. What do you have to say about that? FYI: We get our information from peer reviewed scientific medical journals based on actual controlled studies. Where do you get your information? FOX News? Church?

Sounds like some of the folks here are in denial. I wonder where they get their info from, that pot is harmless. -It effects your lungs and cause cancer. - You have memory loss - You are effecting your brain neurons - Your eyes get bloodshot - You may become dependent and need it for coping - Yes, I have heard addicts say they never thought it would be the opened gate to other drugs, but it made them curious and weak.

You make some good points about substance abuse being a complex issue. Not only do drug effects—including those from prescribed controlled medications—vary with the type, amount and quality of the substance (or substances), but each person reacts differently based on multiple risk and protective factors such as age, genetics, environment, etc. So you never know when you abuse a drug—sometimes it leads to addiction, and sometimes it doesn’t.

sadly this is another case of making a blanket generalization about drugs to demonize cannabis. Although I agree children under 18 shouldn't ingest cannabis without a very specific prescription for a very serious issue, adults should be allowed to have a responsible amount for themselves. Let me tell you I do better with my homework when I get a little high. But I have never observed the same in teens.

Cannabis is a harmless relaxant that is used for many medicinal uses, and is recommended for many things, such as depression, arthritis, nerve pain, cancer, and many many more things.

“Lying” is an emotional word to use when we’re simply trying to prevent drug abuse and the problems that come with it. That is our mission as a public health agency.

Chronic marijuana use can lead to addiction: about 9 percent of people who use marijuana will become dependent on it. This number goes up to about 1 in 6 in those who start using in their teenage years and even higher, to 25 to 50 % among daily users.. And addiction brings with it a bunch of stuff people would not choose for themselves, including brains that are altered to crave the drug.

@Jartny @jartney, It’s not so black and white as that. Yes, THC, the active ingredient in marijuana, does have medical uses that continue to be explored and to help people in pain, for example, or those who have lost their appetites from disease. However, marijuana can be abused and lead to addiction in SOME people—depending on many variables, like when they start, how much they smoke, stress and other ‘environmental’ factors, and even their genes.
