Neurological Effects of Marijuana Use in Adolescents

Funded by: National Institutes of Health
Principal Investigator: William Wilson, PhD

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.
