      ab: Exposure to cannabis in adolescence is associated with possible harmful cognitive and affective outcomes in adulthood, researchers have found. They conducted a literature search examining the potential effects of exposure to cannabis and related synthetic cannabinoids during adolescence. They found that regardless of whether cannabis causes these consequences, youth who are exposed are also at higher risk for potential psychiatric morbidity and learning problems, as well as suicidality and addiction as adults. The earlier the onset of cannabis use, the higher the risk for problems in adulthood, according to the review.
