Abstract

The current study examined the relationships between frequency of recreational cannabis use, age at onset of recreational use, and neuropsychological consequences. Findings indicate that age at onset of daily but not regular use significantly predicts neuropsychological consequences. Younger onset of daily use predicts lower memory, attention, and other cognitive skills.
