许多州已经将医用大麻合法化和/或将娱乐性大麻使用合法化。这些变化与人们对毒品危害的认识减少和青年人使用毒品的增加相吻合。这一变化是至关重要的关注，因为大麻暴露对青少年的潜在有害影响。使用避孕药与几种不良的心理健康结果有关，包括成瘾和共病物质使用、自杀和新发精神病的发生率增加。还观察到对认知和学习成绩的负面影响。随着合法化趋势的继续，儿科界将被要求应对随着政策变化而出现的后续挑战。儿科医生在提供创新护理和教育青少年和家庭有关大麻合法化对社区的影响不断发展的问题方面具有独特的地位。在这篇文章中，我们提出并分析了合法化对青少年大麻使用的影响，青少年使用对心理健康和认知结果的影响，以及目前建议在儿科办公室环境中使用的干预措施的最新数据。
Various states have legalized marijuana for medical purposes and/or decriminalized recreational marijuana use. These changes coincide with a decrease in perceived harmfulness of the drug and an increase in its use among youth. This change is of critical concern because of the potential harmful impact of marijuana exposure on adolescents. Marijuana use has been associated with several adverse mental health outcomes, including increased incidence of addiction and comorbid substance use, suicidality, and new-onset psychosis. Negative impacts on cognition and academic performance have also been observed. As the trend toward legalization continues, the pediatric community will be called on to navigate the subsequent challenges that arise with changing policies. Pediatricians are uniquely positioned to provide innovative care and educate youth and families on the ever-evolving issues pertaining to the impact of marijuana legalization on communities. In this article, we present and analyze the most up-to-date data on the effects of legalization on adolescent marijuana use, the effects of adolescent use on mental health and cognitive outcomes, and the current interventions being recommended for use in pediatric office settings.
