With marijuana now legal in Canada and many US states, parents are increasingly seeking reliable and accurate information about its effects on their teens and young adults. Written by Gail Beck, MD, a leading child psychiatrist with extensive experience working with adolescents and their families, Dope Advice provides a pragmatic, science-based approach to navigating and understanding the complexities of legal marijuana use in the modern world.
Grounded in the latest research, this guide helps parents grasp how marijuana affects the adolescent brain differently from the adult brain, highlighting both its psychological and physical impacts. The book draws on current research studies to provide a clear, evidence-based overview of the effects of marijuana, including its connection to existing mental health conditions and the potential for marijuana-induced psychosis. It also presents recent clinical information on key topics such as vaping, edibles, and addiction, empowering parents to engage in informed, constructive conversations with their children about marijuana use.
