Résumé :
Societal attitudes toward cannabis use are changing rapidly. In the past decade, there has been a wide-ranging movement toward removal of criminal sanctions on cannabis use, and in some localities cannabis use is permitted in a regulated manner, similar to alcohol. This movement has raised some concerns about whether we understand the full implications of cannabis use, particularly in younger individuals. Although cannabis is clearly associated with fewer fatal consequences than alcohol use, it has long been understood that cannabis use can be associated with persistent and substantial cognitive changes and possibly alterations in motivational processes.
