@washingtonpost: Stephen Lankenau has spent years studying how people use cannabis in everyday life. As director of Drexel University’s Medical Cannabis Research Center, he has watched legalization spread, products grow stronger and daily use become increasingly common. Yet one of the most basic questions remains surprisingly difficult to answer: How much cannabis is too much for the brain? Social rituals around alcohol help define moderation — a beer after work, a glass of wine with dinner — and numerous studies have looked at safe alcohol limits. But cannabis is entering mainstream life with few shared rules or routines. Researchers are trying to understand what problematic use looks like and whether new habits and cultural norms could help prevent it. The question is becoming more urgent as cannabis use rises, particularly among younger adults, who tend to use it most heavily and are the most likely to experiment with increasingly potent products.
