Agenda What is cannabis? Cannabis & Psychosis Cannabis & Brain Development Considerations with Legalization

Cannabis Jeopardy 1. What is known as a Popper? 2. What is known as Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome? 3. What is known as Indica? 4. What is known as Sativa? 5. What are some examples of Edibles?

Products: Edibles

Products: Oils, Vaping

What do we know about psychosis? About 1 in 13 people will experience psychosis (about 7.5%) 1 in 100 people will receive a diagnosis of schizophrenia (1%) For people who use cannabis regularly, about 1 in 50 will receive a diagnosis of schizophrenia (2%)

Cannabis and Psychosis Research has found an association but not a cause Some studies have found as much as a 3-fold increase in psychosis with cannabis use, while others have found no differences Results from research studies have been quite varied and the studies are flawed

Cannabis and Psychosis Reverse causation Different strains of cannabis have different effects Types of research studies Other factors….

Other factors… Genetics Childhood trauma (abuse, neglect, bullying, loss, etc.) Age of onset Many more possibilities

Cannabis and brain development / function What we know… Association between persistent cannabis use over extended period starting in adolescence and changes in… IQ Learning Memory Executive function Changes more likely in people who start using regularly prior to age 16 Some evidence for structural changes in grey matter and white matter prior to age 17

what we do NOT know… What is the level of impact on the brain? Was impairment of brain function present before starting cannabis use (reverse causation)? Does education have an impact on the brain’s function? What strains of cannabis have what effects? How much; how often; at what age does cannabis have an impact? Is it reversible?

Cannabis and psychosis what we know so far… 2% vs 1% will receive a diagnosis of schizophrenia Association is only seen in heavy and regular cannabis use Sometimes seen more often in people who start and continue use early (age 15-18) Rates of cannabis among youth, and THC levels have changed over the past few decades, yet the rates of psychosis and schizophrenia remain the same There are many other factors to consider in why someone may use cannabis, and why someone may experience psychosis

Considerations Demonization vs. Romanticization of cannabis Dosage and Strain Medical benefits of cannabis for physical health concerns (e.g. cancer, MS, IBS, pain management) Normalization of alcohol & tobacco vs. cannabis Taking any drug involves risks. Saying cannabis might be helpful for some people is not to deny it might make others worse Long term use of antipsychotic medication vs. long term use of cannabis

Case Study Young person under the age of 25 who receives mental health and addictions services Diagnosis of Schizophrenia History of cannabis use, heavy tobacco user, justice system involvement, lives with parents ‘prescribed cannabis’ with anti-psychotic medication by psychiatrist

Substance Use Continuum

Criminalization 60,000 Canadians arrested for possession of cannabis every year, nearly 3% of all arrests About 700,000 Canadians carry a criminal record for this offense Equity: current law targets the more marginalized Taken from Dr. Catherine Zahn, CEO, CAMH presentation on Cannabis

Decriminalization vs. legalization Production, distribution, possession removed from criminal law Health harm reduction only through legalization + regulation Decriminalization: No criminal penalties/sanctions No ability to regulate No ability to bring in income Taken from Dr. Catherine Zahn, CEO, CAMH presentation on Cannabis

Legalization in Canada Legalization & Regulation of Cannabis in Canada Experiences of Washington and Colorado where cannabis is legalized

Legalization in Canada What are the tensions? Benefits? Drawbacks? Considerations What do service providers need to know?
