Cannabis Abstinence and Brain Function in Teens
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This trial looks at how cannabis affects brain function in teens aged 15–18 who have cannabis use problems. You'll have two neuropsychological tests (like thinking and memory tasks) to see if staying off cannabis helps your brain work better.
