The recent legalization of cannabis in multiple states, and the growth of cannabis use in recent years, underscores the importance of understanding the relationship between frequency of cannabis use and mental health outcomes. Risks for cannabis use and negative mental health outcomes (e.g., anxiety, depression) are highest in emerging adulthood, supporting the importance of examining cannabis use and mental health variables in this population. The current study examined differences in borderline personality disorder symptomatology, demoralization, burnout, loneliness, anxiety, and depression between groups of young adults: those who reported no/infrequent, moderate, or chronic cannabis use.
