Study: Cannabis ‘not safe’ for long-term users
By Sarah Heise, KCRA-TV
A study conducted by researchers at the UCDavis found that smoking marijuana “was not safe for the long-term users.”
The study followed children from birth to age 38 and found that those who smoked cannabis four or more days a week ended up in a lower social class than their parents and had lower-paying, less-skilled, less-prestigious jobs than those who were not regular cannabis smokers, according to the research released online Wednesday.
Regular, persistent users also “experienced more financial, work-related and relationship difficulties, which worsened as the number of years of cannabis use progressed,” the study said.
