Cannabis and mental health

About this leaflet
Two million people in the UK smoke cannabis. Half of all 16 to 29 year olds have tried it at least once. In spite of government warnings about health risks, many people see it as a harmless substance that helps you to relax and ‘chill’ – a drug that, unlike alcohol and cigarettes, might even be good for your physical and mental health. On the other hand, recent research has suggested that it can be a major cause of psychotic illnesses in those who are genetically vulnerable.
This leaflet looks at the research on the effects of cannabis use and mental health and is for anyone who is concerned about the issue. We hope that this will help people to make informed choices about using – or not using – cannabis.
What is cannabis?
Cannabis sativa and cannabis indica are members of the nettle family that have grown wild throughout the world for centuries. Both plants have been used for a variety of purposes including hemp to make rope and textiles, as a medical herb and as the popular recreational drug.
The plant is used as:
◊ The resin – a brown/black lump , known as bhang, ganja, hashish, resin etc;
◊ The dried leaves – known as grass, marijuana, spliff, weed etc.
Skunk is one of the stronger types of cannabis which is grown especially for its higher concentration of psychoactive ingredients. It is named after the pungent smell it gives off during growing. It can be grown either under grow lights or in a greenhouse, often using hydroponic (growing in nutrient rich liquids rather than soil) techniques. There are hundreds of other varieties of cannabis with exotoc names such as AK-47 or Destroyer.
Street cannabis can come in a wide variety of strengths, so it is often not possible to judge exactly what is being used in any one particular session.
