TL;DR: Early-onset chronic cannabis users exhibited poorer cognitive performance than controls and late-ONSet users in executive functioning, suggesting that chronic cannabis use, when started before age 15, may have more deleterious effects on neurocognitive functioning.

TL;DR: Data suggest that there are few differences between the PTSD+ and HC groups, which are restricted to less complex measures of attentional and executive functional processes (short term capacity, selective attention, processing speed, and inhibitory control) and are related to visual stimuli.

TL;DR: In this article, a review about consequences of cannabis use in executive functioning was made, and the authors found that higher doses of tetrahydrocannabinol are associated with impairments in nonsevere users in planning and control impulse tasks.

TL;DR: Evidence that the FAB is sensitive to detect EF deficits in early abstinent chronic cannabis users is shown and may be useful as a screening instrument to evaluate the necessity for a complete neuropsychological assessment in this population.

TL;DR: Results observed that the group of patients with crack-cocaine dependence presented persistent deficits affecting memory and attention even after four weeks of abstinence, confirming previous studies that had disclosed such cognitive impairments.
