The potential health impacts include addiction and other related issues, although the full extent of these impacts is still being studied.

The story so far
Men over 35 are increasingly using cannabis, according to a new study. The research shows a surge in cannabis use disorder among US adults, with men over 35 being particularly affected. This trend raises concerns about potential health impacts, including addiction and other related issues. However, some argue that this does not justify a return to prohibition.
Instead, they advocate for better regulation and education to address problematic use. The debate is complicated by the fact that drug treatment admissions for marijuana are highest in states where it remains illegal, suggesting that legalization and regulation might help mitigate some of the issues associated with cannabis use. The study has sparked a conversation about the potential impacts of cannabis use on public health. Medscape and WTNH.com have focused on the rising rates of cannabis use disorder.
Meanwhile, Marijuana Moment and Yahoo have published opinion pieces discussing the implications of these findings. Some argue that stronger cannabis does not necessitate prohibition, while others point out that problematic use is more prevalent in states where marijuana is illegal.
