  6.

Marijuana Affects Cognitive Abilities • 8 percent of the general population of teens in Montreal reported recurrent psychotic-like experiences. • Marijuana use between ages 13 and 16 in the 8 percent group who reported recurrent psychotic-like experiences can be explained by the emerging symptoms of anxiety, depression or substance use that impact the development of cognitive skills.
