• Health experts blame unregulated marijuana for 97% surge in addiction among middle-aged adults (washingtontimes.com) — A Scottsdale-based clinical director at Pinnacle Peak Recovery is among experts warning that rising marijuana availability is fueling a sharp increase in cannabis addiction symptoms among middle-aged adults nationwide. The piece explains new federal survey data, debates how legalization and marketing contribute to the trend, and highlights calls for better education, regulation, and treatment rather than simple prohibition.
