To date, cannabis research has focused mainly on problematic use and subsequent negative mental health outcomes. However, Zach and his colleagues recently published the most comprehensive review of cannabis and mental health to date and found that for some individual’s cannabis may have potential for mental health treatment. Zach will discuss the current literature and examine why cannabis should be subject to the same risk-versus-benefit evaluations as other medications.
