Study: Cannabis Consumption Not Linked to Increased Apathy

September 5, 2022 A recent study by UK researchers found that cannabis consumption is not associated with increased apathy among adults and adolescents.

A new study published in the International Journal of Neuropsychopharmacology on August 24 suggests that cannabis consumption is not associated with increased apathy, effort-based decision-making for reward, reward wanting, or reward liking in adults or adolescents. The small study also found that non-cannabis consumers had higher levels of anhedonia, or the inability to feel pleasure.
