Dr. Matthew Hill: How Cannabis Impacts Health & the Potential Risks

Historically, cannabis tended to be more male biased. I would say the gender separation there has kind of narrowed quite a bit where you do see a lot more females used than historically had. There is a little bit of difference. Females tend to prefer edibles over males. So males tend to like inhalation over females. So like roots of administration vary a little bit based on who someone is.

But yeah, interestingly, we don't have a lot of โ€“ actual indication that teenagers have used more. So like, you know, you look at 14 to 18 year olds, that has been, now granted, our baseline going in was pretty high, as is down here in the States. I mean, Canada and the States both hover, you look at like grade 12ers and, you know, it's somewhere between 35 and 40% of them have used cannabis.

Now, I mean, you even have some that are like probably around 5% are probably almost daily users. So like you do have a pretty high baseline to begin with in that group, but that has remained relatively unchanged. If anything, some of the states when they legalized saw slight dips in teenage use of cannabis. I think, like, that's obviously an important demographic to have tracked.

This was one of the concerns with legalization was you'd increase access. Teenagers would get it from their parents and whatnot or had just, you know, other siblings and stuff. And so you get this big boost in consumption. But we don't seem to see that in terms of raw numbers of teenagers who are using cannabis. So that's good. ER visits, yeah. So we did an interesting rollout in Canada.

Well, so this was one of the things that also was influenced by legalization is in Canada, like some of the increase in the ER visits was because of the shift in legalization and the change in policy. And so, you know, if your kid ends up drunk underage, It's not the same ramifications as if your kid used an illegal substance underage.
