Included are findings from studies that have assessed the effects of marijuana use on multiple cognitive domains, such as IQ and driving, along with a summary of relevant neuroimaging information. Careful consideration will be taken to distinguish between the acute and long-term consequences of marijuana use as well as the dose-dependent effects. Finally, the public health impact of current marijuana policy and legislation is also investigated.
