Researchers say the minimum legal age to buy and consume recreational cannabis should be 19 years old.
The findings were revealed on May 14 in a study conducted by a team from the Memorial University of Newfoundland.
“What may be surprising is that several later life outcomes (mental health, general health, and cigarette smoking) from starting cannabis use at age 19 are not different than starting at or after age 21,” says lead author Hai Nguyen.
