The increasing prevalence of cannabis use among young adults has sparked concern within public health and academic communities, particularly regarding its potential long-term impact on cognitive function. Although cannabis is often perceived as a relatively benign substance, emerging evidence suggests that regular use during critical periods of brain development, especially adolescence and early adulthood can lead to lasting cognitive impairments. This longitudinal study was conducted over a span of six years and aimed to evaluate the effects of sustained cannabis use on key cognitive domains in young adults aged 18 to 25, a demographic known for both high cannabis consumption rates and ongoing neurological maturation.
