If you or someone you know is struggling with suicidal thoughts or mental health matters, please call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255 to connect with a trained counselor or visit the NSPL site.
The survey study examined data from more than 281,000 adults ages 18 to 34, who participated in the National Survey on Drug Use and Health from 2008 to 2019. These adults answered questions about cannabis use or disorder, major depressive episodes and suicidality -- which includes suicidal ideation, plans or attempts -- in the past year.
sure, 🙄🤧
The real lede 'While we cannot establish that cannabis use caused the increased suicidality we observed in this study, these associations warrant further research...
Weed has nothing to do with it. Social media has nothing to do with it. Bullying has something to do with it. Mental health illness has something to do with it. Fentanyl problems exist. Instead deny bullying and mental health illness exists. Deny there is a fentanyl problem.
Usually results in a Higher likelihood of thinking about literally everything.
nah young adults are just fucked up in general from society and weed helps
Also, Pot, affects the human heart in a negative way.
If it's linked in anyway it's probably only that of a coping mechanism. Individuals I know who suffer from suicidal thoughts often use Cannabis as a way to decompress and relax 🤷♂️
Good thing I'm an old codger....
Everyone report this post for click bait and fear mongering
Maybe cannabis provides clarity. Once the user sees the real world then that impression leads to suicidal thoughts....
So does watching cnn bullshit
Maybe they’re getting laced weed?Usual side effects are Laughter and Crazy Munchies. Could Lockdowns and lack of Socializing be the actual cause of their mental health issues? 🤷🏽♂️
Think you need to flip that
I’m sure they are suicidal from the state of things and are using weed to cope. L
Fuck off…drinking a bottle of whiskey is a lot more dangerous then smoking a joint
Garbage news
I don’t believe it think the person was probably like that before
Strange I've never been sad when smoking. If I get sad I smoke and then I am not sad anymore.
No it's not
On comes the propaganda..time repeats itself
LOC border almost 90% Seal complete when it's complete Afghanistan can't export cannabin Over ther world
Not a surprise to me. After one sees life from a different, and possibly clearer, perspective, one starts to question everything. I often see the futility of existence...but I'm too afraid of death to seriously consider it.
🤣🤣🤣
Yeah, it's the cannabis, not the fked up goverment. Got it
I can't stand when Cannabis ails my PTSD, Depression, Panic disorder, Anxiety disorder, BPD and fear of dying from the cancer I have. Man... Evil weed it is. But hey, some fucking scientists got together.. Right? Fuck outta here. THC with me for the rest of my days ✌️🖕
The majority of young adults are depressed and suicidal. Because of the world we live in and the shit we have to go through daily and fix due to boomers+. They use weed because it helps a large amount of conditions. Keep that pharma bs up. Go focus on alcohol and cigarettes.
Alcohol use is linked to death. Cigarette use is linked to death. Correct me, but I don't think there is a single study linking cannabis to death🤔
That’s because it’s not meant to be smoked
If so why did they offer free weed for getting the jab?
If young adults had a proper upbringing they wouldn’t be smoking pot.
I don’t believe that for a second.
This is deceptive bullshit, CNN.
Never cared for it.
Really it's the opposite...
Cocaine is Awsome tho
I dont even use cannabis and I feel this way! Oh well! Might as well start cannabis now!
Spoiler alert: cannabis has nothing to do with it…check the economy right quick.
Oh that's bullshit
Correlation and causation doesn't matter in any junk propaganda study except... The only time it does is if it goes against any junk ingredients of vaccines.
Absolutely junk science propaganda. This is why nobody believes in studies at all anymore. It's all conflicted.
Lmao WHAT?!?!?! Where do people come up with shit?! Ive been around weed smokers all my life and nobody EVER thought like that. They just wanted to eat and veg out lol and you liberals put stock in these type of studies lol
Bullshirt. It’s not the weed.
Bullshit, cannabis helps stop me from thinking about suicidal thoughts
Who did this study
Don't mess with a ASU SCHOLAR... you'll get the poky stick lol asu
Should stop reporting fake news.
Yeah, that's Bullshit.
Remove this!!!!! This is conjecture..even the report says THEY DONT KNOW!! JFC ..DO NEWS!! TRY TO DO NEWS!!
Bullshit. Cannabis makes you think of many things. Suicide is NOT one of them. Junk science.
Maybe it's because of the stereotypical images of cannabis users as slacker stoners who fail at life.
POT USE ALWAYS HIGHTENS YOUR AWARNESS SO IF YOUR MIND IS ON THE 'ULTIMATE ESCAPE' ALL DRUGS SHOULD BE AVOIDED & COUNCIL SHOULD BE SAUGHT!! ANDTHATSAFACTJACK
Or.. depressed young adults thinking about suicide are being associated with a higher likelihood of cannabis use. To me cannabis seems unlikely to cause depression, depression seems likely to cause self-medication.
Suicide rates linked to people who drink water too. Correlation=/= causation
I'll drink to that
🙏🏻NEED‼️ 1. VOTE & GUN Laws 2. Infrastructure 3. 👨🏻🏭Jobs plan 4. Low Income Seniors Disab Vet Min Livable Check $2400 Mo 5. 👨👩👧👦Family plan 6.Student plan $10,000 & No interest loan FORGOT MILLIONS-SENIORS DISAB VET 👉🏻WHO VOTED FOR YOU ✅PLEASE PRIORITIZE 4 LIVABLE Ck
Or cannabis use is self medicating for those symptoms and the study was selective for for people with those symptoms?
  👇🏻 'While we cannot establish that cannabis use caused the increased suicidality we observed in this study, these associations warrant further research, especially given the great burden of suicide on young adults”
Bullshit lol
Now do alcohol.
Should Trump go to jail? This is the topic we are discussing today. After many investigations, many people think that he has done a very bad job in preventing epidemics and should be responsible for the 600,000 Americans who died. What do you think?
horrible
Lmao stop ✋🏻 🛑
exactly...'thinking about it' only...
Bullshit.
every month yall come up with a new bullshit study talking negatively about weed lol
This article is more likely to make me off myself that a fat dube XD
That's why I never liked smoking.
Oh this is a new form of low even for you cnn
dang :/
This is way irresponsible!! From the actual study: Please read articles before you post them
WTH!!!! Please stop putting your own spin to things! Full disclosure is needed on this report, no redaction!
Yes, most adolescents who are miserable in this society, don’t find their place or are faced with too many challenges, including parents who have little time for them or are too busy to pay attention to them, resort to the false feeling of wellbeing that cannabis gives them…
No it hasn't
I don't believe that for one minute. Try sTinken alcohol. I can't believe you coming up with such BS
That's probably why there are so few aging hippies and boomers still living. Take all news with a grain of salt.
Like this ?
Be more specific about how much cannabis and how often it must be used before this issue is relevant?
Really? Nothing to do with last year’s COVID shut down? I think it’s BS
Krazy news to hear...
Weak
Yeah ok 🖕
Stuck in a job that doesn't pay enough to live on but you can't quit because you can't make it a month without it leads to even more suicidal thoughts - and, more importantly, actions. Modern American Slavery:
Unbelievable
Correlation and causation, people.
Does MJ itself cause the suicidal thoughts or is MJ use by some an indicator of preexisting depression and suicidal thoughts and they are self-medicating?
They found a correlation, not a causation. Most likely, people with suicidal thoughts are more likely to use cannabis.
It might be because young adults who start using drugs at a young age are doing so to lessen the effects of what they are going through. It's not the pot, but the circumstances of these young people. Had I not used drugs as a teen, I would have committed suicide. suicide
The bottom line: Marijuana use and depression accompany each other more often than you might expect by chance, but there's no clear evidence that marijuana directly causes depression.-source Mayo Clinic
correlation does not mean the effect, they fail to include any other factors in the teens lives like low income or academic stress or abuse
Being drunk instead of stoned, one simply doesn't think at all. Just ask anyone that has driven drunk, sent a text with mostly emojis at 3am, had to sneak out of some strangers apartment after a one night stand, got a Barnie tattoo, or some how wound up in Vegas.
This isn’t a lie to scare people into the hands of companies that sell antidepressants at alllllll 🙄
BS!
It's a mind altering drug. I'm not saying it's bad, and I know it has some positive uses, but it is still a mind altering drug. I once had a young stoner woman argue with me that people are better drivers while stoned. She believed this. She was also stoned while arguing.
They were probably having suicidal thoughts prior to smoking and were looking for some type of relief from those thoughts.For me, Cannabis is my 1 relaxtion method, but it doesn't work for everyone.
When you realise you've been programmed to be a conform consume obey citizen in a lifetime of debt ,, it can be a bit depressing...
Must be a government program feeling the hurt of not arresting and collecting . Or private prisons crying about guaranteed swinging doors, cause Lord knows my 50 year old brothers do well more of their fair share of laughing and kicking back. CNN is in need of a Joint, Brothers !
I wanted to die long before I was introduced to that dank

harmful article, you should be ashamed
Dumbest study findings ever! It's like saying alcohol makes young teens think of suicide?! News flash! No CBD or THC is the same, they offer different feelings depending on the strain. If teens are thinking of suicide when they smoke, they need a therapist. justsaying 🤷🏿♂️
They lying! 😂
Hot take: I'm more suicidal after a heavy night of drinking than after getting high. But you do you, CNN.
lol
Totally wrong ,marijuana simply medicine
shut up.
False!!!! Reefer Madness!!!
Cyclops betwixt eye drops is the utter irrelevance of Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl's anecdotal advice that video games complement cannabis use therefore before your trip to White Castle pure decadence is sharing a twixt bar with your fellow mutants since overture is Reload.
Blaming the umbrella for the rain.
i really dont think weeds would make you think about suicide maybe something else in their life
I like how the first thing posted about cannabis is FUD. People have been smoking for years and haven’t committed suicide. Y’all aren’t on the ground, in peeps homes. Chilling. Nor do they want y’all there. People can’t get jobs cause it’s illegal federally. Do a report on that.
You lying sacks of shit. Cannabis is the antithesis of suicidality. It’s an adaptogen… ffs. Give it away free all around and prevent suicide!
I’m surprise the study doesn’t tell young adults to just smoke a cigarette so they’ll have better, happier thoughts.
I call BS on this
I enjoy the outdoors, listen to music and watch cool movies when I’m on the pot.
Has everyone ignored that fact that almost every anti-anxity/depression pill may or may not have the same effect? Including other pharmaceuticals that are sold in your local pharmacy that are supposed to help with other issues you have?
I don’t believe it.
Perfect headline to muster clicks… desperate times for CNN.
I call bullsh*t on this one
Really it just highlights whatever was already going on with you.
I've known people I've been smoking pot with for over 50 years and no one committed suicide or thought of it. Us boomers call these stories Bullshitism 😎
It’s not the cannabis- it’s this shitty country and white supremacy causing young people to consider suicide.
Liars
I'm thinking the same can be said about people who watch CNN and the like!
So does pharmaceuticals drugs and jobs
Ya, *thinking about *not committing suicide cuz they’re higher than a kite while the squares are busy misconstruing CNN articles. But maybe really it’s the threat of prison and loss of freedom in many states that’s what’s so depressing?
Fake news
the most fake news ever
I call bull shit on that
Sleep n food oh n chill are my thoughts. The other thoughts were already there. But nice try.
Or just maybe people who are so depressed that they think of suicide use cannabis to feel better. Cause and effect...
We gotta keep remembering the media that correlation doesn't imply causation.
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck off narcs.
All the pot heads mad now
Bull
I call bs. Alcohol is the gateway drug
Of course it does' it highlights everything around you, not for wimps'.
This tweet & article paid for by Big Pharma... 💊💰📺📲🇺🇸🥳
Been smoking pot for 40 years and have not thought about hurting anyone or myself ..where do you guys come up with this Bullshit
Tweet is misleading…the actual article headline & lede say “may” where tweet uses “has been”
