Meanwhile, a new study reveals alarming delays in treatment for young cannabis users—despite stable teen usage rates. Between 2012 and 2022, over 124,000 adolescents seeking help faced wait times stretching from days to months, with nearly 34% in 2022 experiencing significant delays. Experts blame pandemic disruptions and rising demand, calling for systemic changes like early screening in schools and clinics to ensure timely care. The data also highlights disparities: older teens, males, and white adolescents are disproportionately affected, underscoring the urgent need for equitable, accessible treatment.
