Abstract

The article focuses on a longitudinal, cross-cultural study investigating the effects of cannabis use on mental health and cognition among recreational and medicinal users. Conducted by researchers from Erasmus University in Rotterdam, Netherlands, the study utilizes the Experience Sampling Method (ESM) to gather data from an international sample of users aged 18-65 over two years. The research highlights the increasing prevalence of cannabis use for both recreational and medicinal purposes, alongside the rising health risks associated with it, such as cannabis use disorder (CUD). The findings aim to provide insights into the complex interactions between cannabis use, mental health, and contextual factors like local legislation. [Extracted from the article]
