AHS has a list of many resources outlining risks and recommendations for cannabis use that can be found on their website. They suggest that the most effective risk prevention strategy is to avoid cannabis use altogether.\n\nHowever, if an individual is going to use, one of the most important points professionals stress is to avoid early initiation of cannabis. The exact age that cannabis becomes \u201csafer\u201d to use is debated, some suggest 18 years old (the legal age) is sufficient. However, there is evidence that cannabis can have increased negative effects on individuals who used the drug prior to their mid-20s.\n\nThere is a plethora of concerns that are linked to early cannabis use, such as lower IQ, greater behavioral impulsivity, mental health problems, poorer attention, memory issues, and along with others.\n\nThe stigma around cannabis is changing due to legalization. Despite this, individuals who choose to use cannabis should understand all the risks involved in using. The sites and studies recommended by AHS cover many other topics relevant to cannabis use other than the implications of early-use. These articles, or any other reputable sources, should be consulted before choosing to use cannabis.\n\nFind all of AHS\u2019 cannabis-related information <a href=\"https:\/\/www.albertahealthservices.ca\/info\/Page15989.aspx\">here.<\/a>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-1ee60bc\" data-id=\"1ee60bc\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-089b89f elementor-align-left elementor-widget elementor-widget-elementskit-category-list\" data-id=\"089b89f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"elementskit-category-list.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"ekit-wid-con\" >\t\t<ul class=\"elementor-icon-list-items\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"elementor-icon-list-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/dev.eaglerock.ca\/fschf\/category\/in-the-news\/\" >\n                                                <span class=\"elementor-icon-list-text\">In The News<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"elementor-icon-list-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/dev.eaglerock.ca\/fschf\/category\/your-health\/\" >\n                                                <span class=\"elementor-icon-list-text\">Your Health<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"elementor-icon-list-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/dev.eaglerock.ca\/fschf\/category\/newsletters-2022\/\" >\n                                                <span class=\"elementor-icon-list-text\">Newsletter 2022<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"elementor-icon-list-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/dev.eaglerock.ca\/fschf\/category\/newsletters-2021\/\" >\n                                                <span class=\"elementor-icon-list-text\">Newsletter 2021<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"elementor-icon-list-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/dev.eaglerock.ca\/fschf\/category\/newsletters-2020\/\" >\n                                                <span class=\"elementor-icon-list-text\">Newsletter 2020<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/ul>\n\t\t<\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d998c11 elementor-grid-eael-col-1 elementor-grid-tablet-eael-col-2 elementor-grid-mobile-eael-col-1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-eael-post-grid\" data-id=\"d998c11\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;eael_post_grid_columns&quot;:&quot;eael-col-1&quot;,&quot;eael_post_grid_columns_tablet&quot;:&quot;eael-col-2&quot;,&quot;eael_post_grid_columns_mobile&quot;:&quot;eael-col-1&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"eael-post-grid.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<div id=\"eael-post-grid-d998c11\" class=\"eael-post-grid-container\">\n            <div class=\"eael-post-grid eael-post-appender eael-post-appender-d998c11 eael-post-grid-style-default\" data-layout-mode=\"masonry\"><article class=\"eael-grid-post eael-post-grid-column\" data-id=\"1916\">\n        <div class=\"eael-grid-post-holder\">\n            <div class=\"eael-grid-post-holder-inner\"><div class=\"eael-entry-wrapper\"><header class=\"eael-entry-header\"><h2 class=\"eael-entry-title\"><a\n                        class=\"eael-grid-post-link\"\n                        href=\"https:\/\/dev.eaglerock.ca\/fschf\/2023\/01\/26\/it-gave-me-the-comfort-i-needed\/\"\n                        title=\"&#8220;It gave me the comfort I needed&#8221;\">&#8220;It gave me the comfort I needed&#8221;<\/a><\/h2><\/header><div class=\"eael-entry-content\">\n                        <div class=\"eael-grid-post-excerpt\"><p>&#8220;I want to thank all those who donated in support of the sleeper reclinerchairs.
