FDA’s Gottlieb worried regular use of pot poses risks to teens

FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb says he is more worried about teen usage of marijuana than e-cigarettes, telling CNBC in an interview that he is concerned that more regular use of pot poses new risks. “I’m worried about the inhalation of a product and the risks associated with that. I’m worried about the perception that somehow there’s no risks associated with youth use of the product,” Gottlieb commented. Though he says previous studies have looked at the risks of occasional marijuana use,regular use is increasingly common as it’s legalized, and “I think that’s going to create a different set of risks.” Publicly traded companies in the space include Aurora Cannabis (ACBFF), CV Sciences (CVSI), Canopy Growth (CGC), Cronos Group (CRON) and Tilray (TLRY).
