CEO and Medical Director, Family Center For Recovery “Adolescence is a neurodevelopmental period in which the circuits of the brain undergo a maturation process which leads to more efficient and adaptive function.  Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) may have a toxic effect upon the natural endocannabinoid system in the brain, interfering with healthy maturation. This may lead to impairment in multiple brain functions, with the result being a number of different psychiatric illnesses including addiction.”
