00:00My name is Nicolas Chadi, I'm a pediatrician and a research specialist in the health of adults and in toxicomania.
00:06I see patients in clinic who have difficulties, problems related to the use of substances,
00:12and I research to try to better understand the impact of the use of substances on the health of young
00:16people
00:17and to find strategies to help them, help them, help them or reduce them.
00:23For a young person who would consume cannabis, there are several risks on the physical health and mental health.
00:27We can think that if we consume cannabis in the form of joints or fumier,
00:32that it will have an impact on the health of the lungs.
00:35It can cause more of all, more of the infections.
00:37We know that it will also affect the physical performance or athlétique performance.
00:40There is an impact of cannabis on the brain, how the brain develops, but also on the mental health.
00:45So, using it on a regular basis can cause symptoms or depression or anxiety
00:50and be an obstacle to the full development of the brain.
00:54When there is a period of use that prolongs over several years,
00:59there will eventually be problems that will be installed.
01:01So, definitely on the health of the physical health.
01:04We can still think about the health of the lungs.
01:06We can also think about the health of the lungs.
01:08We can also think about the health of the cardiovascular health.
01:09There are a lot of impacts that will take place on the brain.
01:12We know that at the short term, using cannabis can be difficult for concentration or
01:17the capacity of learning.
01:18But at the long term, it can have an impact on the development of the intellectual potential.
01:24It can also bring an increase in the risk of having mental health diseases,
01:29such as anxiety and depression.
01:31It is certain that there are choices associated with the consumption of cannabis.
01:35We choose to use it in a context or in another context.
01:38But to develop a dependence, it is not necessarily something that we choose,
01:42and it can be different from one person to the other.
01:46What is certain, it is that when we think about a dependence,
01:49and we do a relationship with a potential disease,
01:51we need to look for support around us to achieve our objectives.
01:55It is certain that it can be applied,
01:57and it can bring important benefits to the short term and long term.
02:00If we think about reducing or reducing our consumption of cannabis,
02:03there are several tools, several strategies that can be very useful.
02:06I think that one of them would be to choose activities of leisure,
02:11or sportive, athletic, or artistic,
02:13that will allow us to look for a feeling of well-being.
02:17And then it can also be varied as to go, to play, to play, to play,
02:22to play a table, or to cook a dish that we really like.
02:26And then in fact, it will look for the same circuits of recompense
02:29in the brain that we could see with an use of substances, for example.
02:32We know that the use of substances will lead to dopamine,
02:37a signal of well-being, of repos in the brain.
02:40There are a lot of sports activities or leisure
02:42that will also lead to the brain to produce this dopamine
02:46and to feel well.
02:48Like we can develop an accoutumance or even a dependence on substances,
02:52we can look for a dependence which is now much more healthy,
02:56with the use of regular practice of a sport or an activity that leads to the well-being.
