8 8   There is often an underlying hypocrisy or double standard, saying the quiet part out loud, or conclusions that are so much of an antithesis to what the data shows that made me want to include it. At least, thats the idea for once its polished. I have about 150 more studies to upload, so it will be a few weeks before I get through it all. Until such time, feel free to search for them yourself and edit in what you find, or add your own studies. If you like you can do it manually, or if you'd rather go the route I did, just rename the study to its doi number and feed the study into an AI and tell them to summarize the study using the following format:

1484 +Key Statistics
1485 +General Observations:
1486 +
1487 +Study examined cannabis use trends in young adults over time.
1488 +Found significant correlations between cannabis use and increased depressive symptoms.
1489 +Subgroup Analysis:
1490 +
1491 +Males exhibited higher rates of cannabis use, but females reported stronger mental health impacts.
1492 +Individuals with pre-existing anxiety disorders were more likely to report problematic cannabis use.
1493 +Other Significant Data Points:
1494 +
1495 +Frequent cannabis users showed a 23% higher likelihood of developing anxiety symptoms.
1496 +Co-occurring substance use (e.g., alcohol) exacerbated negative psychological effects.
1497 +Findings
1498 +Primary Observations:
1499 +
1500 +Cannabis use was linked to higher depressive and anxiety symptoms, particularly in frequent users.
1501 +Self-medication patterns emerged among those with pre-existing mental health conditions.
1502 +Subgroup Trends:
1503 +
1504 +Early cannabis initiation (before age 16) was associated with greater mental health risks.
1505 +College-aged users reported more impairments in daily functioning due to cannabis use.
1506 +Specific Case Analysis:
1507 +
1508 +Participants with a history of childhood trauma were twice as likely to develop problematic cannabis use.
1509 +Co-use of cannabis and alcohol significantly increased impulsivity scores in the study sample.
1510 +Critique and Observations
1511 +Strengths of the Study:
1512 +
1513 +Large, longitudinal dataset with a diverse sample of young adults.
1514 +Controlled for confounding variables like socioeconomic status and prior substance use.
1515 +Limitations of the Study:
1516 +
1517 +Self-reported cannabis use may introduce bias in reported frequency and effects.
1518 +Did not assess specific THC potency levels, which could influence mental health outcomes.
1519 +Suggestions for Improvement:
1520 +
1521 +Future research should investigate dose-dependent effects of cannabis on mental health.
1522 +Assess long-term psychological outcomes of early cannabis exposure.
1523 +Relevance to Subproject
1524 +Supports mental health risk assessment models related to substance use.
1525 +Highlights gender differences in substance-related psychological impacts.
1526 +Provides insight into self-medication behaviors among young adults.
1527 +Suggestions for Further Exploration
1528 +Investigate the long-term impact of cannabis use on neurodevelopment.
1529 +Examine the role of genetic predisposition in cannabis-related mental health risks.
1530 +Assess regional differences in cannabis use trends post-legalization.
1531 +Summary of Research Study
1532 +This study examines the relationship between cannabis use and mental health symptoms in young adults, focusing on depressive and anxiety-related outcomes. Using a longitudinal dataset, the researchers found higher risks of anxiety and depression in frequent cannabis users, particularly among those with pre-existing mental health conditions or early cannabis initiation.
