Cannabis in teenagers / Risk of addiction, higher than in adults

2022-07-11 10:02:00, Sociale CNA

Cannabis is a real danger that most teenagers are exposed to at one time or another.

Scientists at King's College have found that 16 and 17-year-olds are three times more likely to become addicted to cannabis than adults. The study monitored 274 people who used cannabis about four times a week. 76 people were between the ages of 16 and 17, while 71 people were between the ages of 26 and 29.

Researchers found that teenagers who smoked cannabis were three and a half times more likely to be addicted than adults. This is because the brain of young people is developing and this affects their addiction to harmful substances.

" Cannabis addiction is a real problem that teenagers should be aware of, as they seem to be much more vulnerable to it than adults ," said one of the scientists.

If a teenager consumes cannabis regularly, he will gradually become accustomed to the effects it produces, and then a tolerance to the effects of cannabis will develop. Over time, the brain will begin to seek even more of the narcotic substance, which leads to even greater consumption of cannabis./ CNA.al
