Almost 50% of people who go through sex change surgery to become transgender try to commit suicide. Doesn’t stop the progressive liberal nut jobs from encouraging children to do it.

“It’s a public health issue” -so commentators go it’s either bullshit or birch everyone and lock everyone up. Unfortunately this article offers no real solutions. The solution is to legalise/regulate and keep out of the hands of kids and black market!

Wow. What a surprise

Where’s the study? Where did they find these teenagers that don’t drink and smoke pot? This sounds like bullshit made up by news papers and dressed up like news🤑

Propoganda bullshit

Under 18's shouldn't smoke that's always been the case, even users would advocate that because yes it can affect brain development. But if this is the case why isn't there more articles on under-age drinking which is more prominent and dangerous?

That's funny, because I'd say social media increases that risk! And cannabis is just the release. There's no direct links as stated in the article just observations, and if you legalised it you'd give users access to CBD strains, and better quality products. Stupid research

Ah ha, so correlation does equal cause after all! Thanks for clearing that up!

The USA need to read this then !

All the justification police will hate this so I will just watch the show.

So half of America will be suffering from deep depression in a few years as cannabis has just been widely legalised 🙄 In 15 years they’ll ban it again... saying we made a mistake.

Most of ppl in power in our country went to uni & smoked it! its another fake tale! like sugar is bad eggs butter tea coffee they make stuff up if it makes a few rich to say its good or bad they dont care if its right or not just making money!in this case want money to research

Are those teenagers already a High-Risk group, before they experiment with cannabis?

correlation vs causation, maybe it's both

neilnunes1 Or: people susceptible to depression self medicate with cannabis.

''The studies were observational, meaning they could not prove that use of the drugs triggered the later depression, researchers said. It it possible that those who were struggling in adolescence were more likely to turn to drugs, they said.'' -Next!

Suffering from Brexit causes depression for an entire Country

Don’t tell me how to live my life

Because your not allowed to smoke it anymore ☺

So does breathing, next.

It's *decreases depression
