Evidence¶

Goycolea 2020¶

Goycolea, Rodrigo; Castro Alonso, Juan; Dörr Álamos, Anneliese. (2020). Visuospatial Processing Decline Due to Cannabis Consumption in Nondependent High School Students. Educational Psychology Review. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10648-020-09564-8

q2 · i? · review · r?

The review reports, citing the evidence it surveys, that cannabis has detrimental effects on cognitive, academic, and professional performance and that these effects "tend to be larger in younger users (e.g., high school students)". This is the review's framing of prior evidence.

"evidence shows that the use of this drug has detrimental effects on cognitive, academic, and professional performance, which tend to be larger in younger users (e.g., high school students)"
