Bibliographical note

Funding Information:
The (5 mg of THC) has been endorsed by NIDA, NIMH and major health organisations (NOT‐DA‐21‐049). As such, it is now a recommended reporting requirement for all investigators funded by these funding organisations. This will ultimately increase methodological consistency and quality of evidence in research investigating the possible harms and benefits of cannabis use. Because the applies to all cannabis products and methods of administration, integration of this tool into developmental cohort studies holds promise for measuring youth cannabis use and its consequences. Of relevance for neuromaturation and youth health, THC drives cannabis' psychoactive, addictive, psychotogenic and anxiogenic properties and directly affects the endocannabinoid system that regulates youth neuromaturation, via directly binding to brain cannabinoid receptors type 1.
