Cannabis legalization is one of the most debated public health issues today — and as an ER doctor who’s worked through Canada’s federal legalization, I’ve seen the real-world effects firsthand.

In this video, I break down what peer-reviewed evidence actually shows about recreational cannabis use:
Does legalization lead to more use or addiction?
What are the mental health risks — psychosis, anxiety, and schizophrenia?
Does it increase impaired driving or emergency visits?
Are there public health or social benefits — like reduced arrests, safer products, and more tax revenue?
And does cannabis legalization really reduce alcohol consumption?

I’ll cover both the pros and the cons, and then share my honest opinion based on years of frontline experience in emergency medicine.
