大麻的使用是一系列心理健康问题的已知风险因素，但对其与一般心理健康的关系知之甚少。我们的目标是探索大麻使用与一般心理健康之间的关系。我们对1,929名18-30岁的年轻人进行了横断面在线调查。参与者报告了社会人口学数据、药物使用情况和症状自评量表(SCL-90)。每月吸食大麻与SCL-90总分较高相关，无论是粗制组(OR 1.94，95%CI 1.57-2.38)还是完全校正模型组(OR 1.48，95%CI 1.07-2.03)。在女性和每周吸食大麻的人中，大麻与精神健康之间的联系更强，而且与首次使用大麻时的年龄无关。我们的结论是，适量使用大麻与青壮年的一般心理健康问题有关。这种关系与首次使用时的年龄和其他风险因素无关，在女性中表现最强。
Cannabis use is a known risk factor for a range of mental health problems, but less is known on the association with general mental health. We aim to explore the relationship between cannabis use and general mental health. We did a cross-sectional online survey of 1,929 young adults aged 18-30 years. Participants reported socio-demographic data, substance use and the Symptom Checklist-90 (SCL-90). Monthly cannabis use was associated with a higher total score on the SCL-90, both in a crude (OR 1.94, 95 % CI 1.57-2.38) and fully adjusted model (OR 1.48, 95 % CI 1.07-2.03). The association between cannabis and mental health was stronger in women and weekly users, and was independent of age at first use of cannabis. We conclude that moderate cannabis use is associated with general mental health problems in young adulthood. This relationship is independent of age at first use and of other risk factors, and is strongest in women.
