Closing Research Gaps on Cannabis and Mental Health: Key Findings

Over the past five years, we have led a pan-Canadian program to assess the impact of cannabis legalization and use on mental health. Our key findings synthesize results from 20 academic and 14 community-based research projects exploring the relationship between mental health and cannabis consumption, with a particular focus on priority populations and opportunities for ongoing research, policy, and practice.

These resources highlight progress toward that goal, including an overview of the scoping activities, research investments, knowledge mobilization activities, evaluation, investments, key partners, and what we have learned along the way.
