risks of a variety of\u2014acute and long-term\u2014adverse health and social outcomes. These risks will vary in their likelihood and severity with user characteristics, use patterns, and product qualities, and so may not be the same from user to user or use episode to another.

These effects are particularly pronounced in early-onset users who also engage in intensive and frequent use. This may be in part because frequent cannabis use affects the developing brain. Prevention messages should emphasize that, the later cannabis use is initiated, the lower the risks will be for adverse effects on the user\u2019s general health and welfare throughout later life.

Risk Cannabis Use Guideline Date August 2017 Purpose Clinical Guidelines Target Audience Anyone who has made the choice to use or is considering using, as well as their family, friends and peers. Any professional, organization or government body aiming to improve the health of Canadians who use cannabis through evidence-based information and education. The Lower Risk Cannabis Use Guidelines (LRCUG) are an evidence-based public health intervention tool.\u00a0As cannabis was legalized in Canada in\u00a0October 2018,\u00a0an update of the LRCUG was a\u00a0timely and essential undertaking, as the guidelines\u00a0offer a potentially valuable population-level tool to reduce the risk\u00a0for adverse health outcomes from cannabis use among (especially young) users. The LRCUG include 10 core harm-reduction-based\u00a0recommendations.\u00a0 The present work was led by Dr. Benedikt Fischer of the Ontario CRISM Node and a team of renowned addiction and health science experts. The 2017 guideline is the result of a comprehensive scientific update and revisions to the original guideline (from 2011) and was published in the American Journal of Public Health. Guidelines Peer-Reviewed Publication Download (EN) Evidence Brief Download (FR) Summary of Recommandations RECOMMENDATION 1: The most effective way to avoid any risks of cannabis use is to abstain from use.Those who decide to use need to recognize that they incur risks of a variety of\u2014acute and long-term\u2014adverse health and social outcomes. These risks will vary in their likelihood and severity with user characteristics, use patterns, and product qualities, and so may not be the same from user to user or use episode to another. [Evidence Grade: None required.] RECOMMENDATION 2: Early initiation of cannabis use (i.e., most clearly that which begins before age 16 years) is associated with multiple subsequent adverse health and social effects in young adult life. These effects are particularly pronounced in early-onset users who also engage in intensive and frequent use. This may be in part because frequent cannabis use affects the developing brain. Prevention messages should emphasize that, the later cannabis use is initiated, the lower the risks will be for adverse effects on the user\u2019s general health and welfare throughout later life. [Evidence Grade: Substantial.] RECOMMENDATION 3: High THC-content products are generally associated with higher risks of various (acute and chronic) mental and behavioral problem outcomes. Users should know the nature and composition of the cannabis products that they use, and ideally use cannabis products with low THC content. Given the evidence of CBD\u2019s attenuating effects on some THC-related outcomes, it is advisable to use cannabis containing high CBD: THC ratios. [Evidence Grade: Substantial.] RECOMMENDATION 4: Recent reviews on synthetic cannabinoids indicate markedly more acute and severe adverse health effects from the use of these products (including instances of death). The use of these products should be avoided. [Evidence Grade: Limited.] RECOMMENDATION 5: Regular inhalation of combusted cannabis adversely affects respiratory health outcomes. While alternative delivery methods come with their own risks, it is generally preferable to avoid routes of administration that involve smoking combusted cannabis material (e.g., by using vaporizers or edibles). Use of edibles eliminates respiratory risks, but the delayed onset of psychoactive effect may result in the use of larger than intended doses and subsequently increased (mainly acute, e.g., from impairment) adverse effects. [Evidence Grade: Substantial.] \u00a0RECOMMENDATION 6: Users should avoid practices such as \u201cdeep inhalation,\u201d breath-holding, or the Valsalva maneuver to increase psychoactive ingredient absorption when smoking cannabis, as these practices disproportionately increase the intake of toxic material into the pulmonary system. [Evidence Grade: Limited.] RECOMMENDATION 7:\u00a0Frequent or intensive (e.g., daily or near-daily) cannabis use is strongly associated with higher risks of experiencing adverse health and social outcomes related to cannabis use. Users should be aware and vigilant to keep their own cannabis use\u2014and that of friends, peers, or fellow users\u2014occasional (e.g., use only on 1 day\/week, weekend use only, etc.) at most. [Evidence Grade: Substantial.] RECOMMENDATION 8: Driving while impaired from cannabis is associated with an increased risk of involvement in motor-vehicle accidents. It is recommended that users categorically refrain from driving (or operating other machinery or mobility devices) for at least 6 hours after using cannabis. This wait time may need to be longer, depending on the user and the properties of the specific cannabis product used. Besides these behavioral recommendations, users are bound by locally applicable legal limits concerning cannabis impairment and driving. The use of both cannabis and alcohol results in multiply increased impairment and risks for driving, and categorically should be avoided. [Evidence Grade: Substantial.] RECOMMENDATION 9: There are some populations at probable higher risk for cannabis-related adverse effects who should refrain from using cannabis. These include individuals with predisposition for, or a first-degree family history of, psychosis and substance use disorders, as well as pregnant women (primarily to avoid adverse effects on the fetus or newborn). These recommendations, in part, are based on precautionary principles. [Evidence Grade: Substantial.] RECOMMENDATION 10: While data are sparse, it is likely that the combination of some of the risk behaviors listed above will magnify the risk of adverse outcomes from cannabis use. For example, early-onset use involving frequent use of high-potency cannabis is likely to disproportionately increase the risks of experiencing acute or chronic problems. Preventing these combined high-risk patterns of use should be avoided by the user and a policy focus.
