Abstract
Cannabis intoxication adversely affects health, yet persistent effects following short-term abstinence in long-term cannabis users are unclear. This matched-subjects, cross-sectional study compared health outcomes of long-term cannabis and long-term tobacco-only users, relative to population norms.Highlights
We examined health outcomes of long-term cannabis users and long-term tobacco users.
Cannabis users had poorer learning and memory than tobacco users.
Cannabis users had slower reaction time on some tasks than tobacco users.
Tobacco users reported poorer physical and mental health than cannabis users.
Tobacco should be controlled in research investigating cannabis health outcomes. Access Paper Here
