Abstract in brief

  • Heavy cannabis use during adolescence is linked to increased mental health issues and cognitive problems, but the biological reasons are not fully understood.
  • Studies indicate that starting cannabis use in adolescence can cause more severe and long-lasting effects on the brain compared to use in adulthood, highlighting the vulnerability of the adolescent brain.
  • Cannabis may interfere with key brain development processes like synaptic pruning and white matter growth, which could explain the cognitive and emotional deficits observed in young users.]

@VetsCannaCoal @natsfert @SenBooker I believe theres a lot of evidence that counters your position here regarding brain development. I’d say keep it 18+ until we get more data. https://t.co/wfD6VnHJ2m
