Smoking cannabis as a teen could impact your memory and learning skills – both crucial indicators of intelligence, a study has suggested.
Researchers from the University of California, San Diego found adolescents from 13 to 14 years old who had used cannabis in the past year had poorer memory than those who had never used the drug.
The study used data from the Adolescent Brian Cognitive Development study, which tracks 12,000 youths across the US from the age of 9 to 10 years old through late adolescence.
