The consequences of chronic cannabis smoking in vulnerable adolescents

Cannabis, like the mythic shape-shifter, presents in various guises, morphing with the perspective and context of the observer. Arguments about cannabis are confused by a myriad of debates —medical, social, ethical and political—as if a single conceptual umbrella can capture the variety and granularity of marijuana-related issues. This paper responds to marijuana use as it is commonly practised by youth in Australia. It has little to say about synthetic cannabinoids, specific medi cinal cannabinoids, or medicinal properties of marijuana.
