As marijuana use in the United States increases, a general lack of research into the drug and its effects on the brain represents a conundrum. The research that has been conducted illustrates a difficult picture for teens using the drug during this crucial time of brain development. In this course, we present that dilemma and the efforts to monitor the use in that age group. Healthcare providers who deal with adolescents need to be aware of the dangers and the current body of research in this area. In addition, we will also discuss problems with Delta 8, a new derivative of the hemp plant, which is causing difficulties in the control and research of marijuana in teens.
