According to a Canadian researcher, the effect of heavy doses of cannabis on young brains is more severe than expected.

Dr. Gabriella Gobbi, a psychiatric researcher from the Research Institute of the McGill University Health Centre has completed a study that suggests smoking pot on a daily basis can cause depression and anxiety.

Notably, the activity can have an irreversible long-term effect on the brain.

“We wanted to know what happens in the brains of teenagers when they use cannabis and whether they are more susceptible to its neurological effects than adults,” explained Dr. Gobbi, who is also a professor at McGill University.
