Long-Term Effects of Cannabis on Brain Structure

TL;DR: Evidence is provided that regular cannabis use is associated with gray matter volume reduction in the medial temporal cortex, temporal pole, parahippocampal gyrus, insula, and orbitofrontal cortex; these regions are rich in cannabinoid CB1 receptors and functionally associated with motivational, emotional, and affective processing.
Journal ArticleDOI

E-Cigarettes: A Review of New Trends in Cannabis Use

Journal ArticleDOI
