Cannabis use is not without risk, particularly for adolescents and young adults.

Other CU Boulder research has found that heavy cannabis use among teens may boost risk of sleep problems later in life, and use among pregnant women may increase risk of sleep problems in their children.Using a fleet of Dodge Sprinter vans, which they refer to as their mobile laboratories, Bryan and her colleagues have spent the past several years studying how commercially available cannabis products influence human health.

The authors theorize that cannabinoid receptors in the brain may become saturated with THC at higher levels, beyond which there is a diminishing effect of piling on more THC.Cannabis users are not couch potatoes In a survey of cannabis users, Bryan and colleagues found that 80% mix marijuana with working out, with 70% saying it increases enjoyment, 78% saying it boosts recovery and 52% saying it motivates them.

In one recent study, he and his collaborators found that labels like indica, sativa and hybrid—long used to distinguish one category of cannabis from another— tell consumers little about what's in the product and could be confusing or misleading.across six states found that labels"do not consistently align with the observed chemical diversity" of the product.
