This week, an annual drug use survey Monitoring the Future (MTF), conducted by scientists at the University of Michigan’s Institute for Social Research, Ann Arbor revealed that cannabis and hallucinogen use by young adults (19-30) in the past year reached a historic high. The study was funded by NIDA (National Institute on Drug Abuse), part of the National Institutes of Health, the nation's primary federal agency conducting medical research on common and rare diseases.
Concerned about the results, the head of NIDA, Dr. Nora Volkow underscored that regular cannabis use among individuals in their mid-20s can result in permanent damage to the brain, and suggesting that it is safe is, therefore, a misconception, reported Daily Mail.
