Conclusion & Additional Resources

This guide is a living document. The recommendations are based on current evidence, but cannabis use in Canada is a changing landscape. As more research emerges, some of the recommendations in this guide may change. This document will also be updated as new resources that may be helpful to you are created. As campuses begin to develop their policies and frameworks related to cannabis use, we would like to include them in this document as well. We are always excited to hear of new developments and ideas from campuses, so please send them to us at info@campusmentalhealth.ca.
