Statement by The College of Psychiatrists of Ireland - Cannabis is 'gravest threat' to youth mental health
https://www.thejournal.ie/cannabis-potency-grave-threat-young-people-mental-health-5427521-May2021/

The College of Psychiatrists of Ireland (CPsychI) has warned that cannabis represents the “gravest threat to the mental health of young people in Ireland today”, saying that the combination of increasingly potent strains of the drug, and a widespread conception among the public that it is harmless, are having “devastating” effects.

Statement by the President of the American Medical Association, April 9, 2021
In states that have already legalized cannabis, the AMA believes jurisdictions should take steps to regulate the product effectively to protect public health and safety. This includes regulating retail sales, limiting the potency of cannabis extracts and concentrates, and requiring that the packaging for edible products is child-resistant to protect children from unintentional ingestion.
