A recent investigation involving 246 adolescents aged 13 to 14 sheds light on the association between cannabis consumption and memory decline in this age group. Adolescent cannabis use is a subject of growing concern, and its potential impact on cognitive functions, particularly memory, is a topic of intense study.
“The study reveals that adolescents who had consumed cannabis exhibited lower scores in episodic memory tasks. Additionally, a correlation was observed between higher cannabis consumption and poorer performance in verbal tasks, inhibitory tasks, working memory, and episodic memory”, researchers noted.
These findings underscore the potential negative consequences of cannabis use during adolescence on various aspects of memory function.
The study serves as a valuable contribution to the ongoing dialogue surrounding the potential risks associated with early cannabis consumption and its impact on cognitive development in teenagers.
