⚠️Cannabis isn’t as harmless as many people believe.
During National Cannabis Awareness Month, we’re taking a closer look at what often gets overlooked.
As legalization expands, so does the perception that cannabis is “safe.” But research -- and real clinical experience -- tell a more complicated story.👈
Regular use has been linked to:
• Increased risk of heart attack and stroke
• Symptoms of anxiety, mania, and psychosis
• Impaired memory, judgment, and decision-making
🚨And for some populations, the risks are even greater:
• During pregnancy, cannabis use may impact birth weight
• Early exposure may affect long-term mental development and behavior
This isn’t about fear; it’s about understanding the full picture.
🎥 In this video, Dr. Mitrevolis, medical director at our sister center in Southern California, breaks down what’s happening and why it matters.
