Discuss how Marijuana and Mental Health affects mental health is a common disagreement that many patients and mental health providers have.

Directions Many states are legalizing marijuana. How this affects mental health is a common disagreement that many patients and mental health providers have. Please review the following activities at NEI about cannabis use. In your initial post, answer the following questions: 1-What is your state’s regulation on marijuana use? Is it illegal across the board or is it legal for medical and/or recreational use? What are the prescribing regulations for nurse practitioners (if any)? 2-Do you agree with the viewpoint of “marijuana is not a drug?” Would your answer be different with a 16-year-old versus a 34-year-old client? Why? 3-If you have a patient with a marijuana addiction, what local resources can you refer them to? 4-Are there any supplements or prescription medications that may be useful for marijuana addiction?
