Abstract in brief

  • Adolescent cannabis use is linked to inconsistent changes in brain structure and function, with some areas like the prefrontal and temporal regions showing alterations, but it's unclear whether these are caused by cannabis or other factors.
  • Long-term studies suggest that cannabis use during adolescence may lead to declines in IQ and lower chances of completing secondary education, but these effects might also be influenced by genetics or social environments.
  • While some cognitive functions like IQ and verbal learning are affected during regular cannabis use, there is evidence of potential recovery after abstinence; however, cannabis use could still have lasting negative effects, and young people should be aware of these risks.]
