This
study examines the effects of chronic marijuana usage in early users
(defined as those who started using marijuana before age 15) and late
users (who began using marijuana after age 18). Previous studies have
revealed changes in brain morphology, cerebral blood flow, and body
size. They also suggest that these changes are related to age of first
use and gender.
