Mental Health Risks Increase With Age

Science has found links between long-term cannabis use and an increased risk of anxiety, depression, and in some individuals, psychosis—especially among those with a genetic predisposition. At 30, when life stressors such as career pressure and family responsibilities often peak, marijuana may worsen underlying mental health vulnerabilities rather than relieve them.

Several longitudinal studies suggest that persistent cannabis use is associated with reduced motivation and lower occupational achievement. While this doesn’t happen to everyone, researchers note a pattern known as “amotivational effects,” where long-term users report decreased drive, goal-setting, and persistence—factors that are crucial during prime career-building years.

Additionally, frequent use has been associated with sleep disturbances and metabolic changes.
