Today, April 20th (4/20), is often associated with cannabis use.
At CRC, we recognize this as an opportunity to share information, promote awareness, and support informed decision-making.

Cannabis affects everyone differently, and understanding both potential risks and benefits is important. If you or someone you know is interested in learning more about cannabis use, prevention, or research opportunities, we're here to help.

Our goal is to provide education, resources, and support — without judgment. 💬

🌿 Cannabis Use Disorder Prevention & Awareness Week

This week highlights Cannabis Use Disorder Prevention & Awareness Week and encourages learning more about cannabis use and overall well-being. As cannabis use becomes more common, staying informed can help individuals make decisions that work best for them.

• Some people who use cannabis may develop cannabis use disorder
• Risk may vary based on factors like frequency of use and age
• Cannabis use can impact areas such as mood, memory, and daily functioning for some individuals

Increasing awareness helps support informed decision-making and access to resources.

🎉 Fun Fact Friday: THC & CBD Aren’t the Only Cannabinoids! 🌿

Think THC and CBD are the only cannabinoids? Think again! 🤔
Researchers have identified 100+ cannabinoids in the cannabis plant and many are still being studied today. 🔬

Here are a few you may not know:
✨ CBG — sometimes called the “mother cannabinoid”
😴 CBN — often associated with relaxation and sleep
⚡ CBC — being studied for potential mood-related effects

Science is still learning how these compounds may impact health, which makes cannabinoid research an exciting and growing field! 🌱

Happy Fun Fact Friday! 🎉

🧠 Research Spotlight: Cannabis use and brain health continue to be areas of active research.

A recent study examining middle-aged and older adults found that cannabis use was associated with larger brain volume in several regions and better performance on certain cognitive tasks, including memory and attention. Researchers noted that outcomes varied based on frequency of use and emphasized that cannabis effects are complex and still not fully understood.

Findings like these highlight the importance of ongoing, nuanced research to better understand how cannabis interacts with the brain across the lifespan.
