This study highlights a troubling correlation that aligns with an expanding body of evidence.
The paper’s abstract stated that “Cannabis use is associated with short-term memory impairment and long-term changes in brain structure.
However, little is known about whether disordered cannabis use is associated with an increased risk of a dementia diagnosis.”
About 16,000, or 0.3 percent, of the six million individuals the study examined ended up in the hospital or ER as a result of using cannabis.
About 60% of these individuals were men, and the majority were aged 55.
