Description: Data support the notion that marijuana is less dangerous than alcohol or other drugs, but that does not mean that its use is entirely benign. Given the national trend towards medicalization and commercialization, it is important to have current information about marijuana, including its biology, pharmacology, effects on brain development, and physical and mental health risks, in addition to issues related to synthetic marijuana. Mechanisms for decreasing marijuana abuse among college students will also be addressed.
