Teen Cannabis Use: Unpacking the Hidden Dangers with Dr. Larry Walker

Marijuana is exponentially more powerful—and often more dangerous and, in fact, addictive—now than it was in recent decades.
Cannabis isn't what it used to be. In this eye-opening episode of 'The Mayo Lab Podcast', David Magee sits down with Dr. Larry Walker to discuss the often-overlooked risks of modern marijuana use among teens. Dr. Walker, interim director of the National Center for Cannabis Research and Education, brings a wealth of knowledge to the table, shedding light on how today's potent strains of cannabis can impact young minds and mental health.
With THC levels soaring compared to past decades, the conversation explores how these changes are affecting teen brain development and contributing to mental health issues. Despite its growing acceptance, marijuana poses significant dangers, especially for young users. This episode is a must-listen for parents, educators, and healthcare professionals who want to understand the real risks and learn how to communicate them effectively.
By tuning in, you'll gain valuable insights into how to support young people in making safer choices and fostering lasting wellbeing.
