Understanding the Potential Side Effects of Medical Marijuana

Frequent or long-term cannabis use may be associated with health risks. These risks can vary based on factors such as frequency of use, THC concentration, age of first use, and method of administration. Potential long-term effects may include:

  • Respiratory issues: Cannabis smoke can harm lung tissue and increase the risk of cough, bronchitis, and mucus production. Smoking medical cannabis is prohibited under West Virginia law.
  • Tolerance and dependence: Frequent cannabis use can lead to tolerance, and some people may develop cannabis use disorder. Withdrawal symptoms can occur when frequent users stop using cannabis.
  • Cognitive effects: Cannabis can affect memory, learning, and attention. Risks may be greater for people who begin using cannabis during adolescence.
  • Mental health concerns: Cannabis use has been associated with anxiety, depression, psychosis, and schizophrenia. The association with psychosis and schizophrenia is stronger among people who begin using cannabis at an earlier age or use it more frequently.

Patients should discuss the potential benefits, risks, dosage, and appropriate form of medical cannabis with their registered physician and use medical cannabis only as directed.
