Closing Research Gaps on Cannabis and Mental Health

In 2018, the federal government allocated $10 million over five years to help us assess the impact of the legalization and use of cannabis on the mental health of people in Canada. This work included commissioning research to investigate the risks and benefits of cannabis as well as the varying needs of diverse populations.

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