About this listen

In this episode, we explore the latest 2025 research on cannabis and mental health. Our discussion covers how cannabis use impacts depression, anxiety, PTSD, sleep, cognitive function, and cannabis use disorder (CUD). While many patients report short-term relief from symptoms, studies reveal complex risks, including increased odds of mood disorders, suicidality, impaired cognition, and withdrawal challenges.

We also examine the evidence behind medical marijuana for PTSD and anxiety, the role of CBD and terpenes, and the long-term effects of cannabis on brain development, academic performance, and overall health. Whether you are a clinician, researcher, or someone curious about cannabis and psychiatry, this update will help you better understand the science, myths, and clinical realities of cannabis use.

By listening to this episode, you can earn 1.25 Psychiatry CME Credits.
