flag Ontario teen psychological distress nearly tripled since 2013, linked to frequent cannabis use, especially among girls.

flag Psychological distress among Ontario teens has nearly tripled since 2013, with a new McMaster University study linking increased rates to frequent cannabis use, especially among girls. flag Analyzing data from over 35,000 students, researchers found teens using cannabis 40+ times yearly were 18% more likely to report distress, a trend not seen in 2013. flag The study notes higher cannabis potency today and suggests use may be linked to unmet mental health needs. flag While causation isn't confirmed, researchers stress the need for further investigation and updated public health strategies amid ongoing youth mental health challenges.
