Cannabis use frequency may differentially impact cognitive performance in young adults with and without HIV

Frontiers in adolescent medicine March 26, 2026 S. Nichols, Kun Yang, D. Staley et al.

Introduction: Increased cannabis use in young adults may influence brain health and neurodevelopment. In the context of chronic HIV-associated neuroinflammation, however, mild cannabis use may attenuate negative outcomes through anti-inflammatory effects. More frequent cannabis use may remain deleterious to both young adults with HIV (YWH) and without HIV (YWoH). We explored cross-sectional...

Young Adult Cannabis Use and Circulating Endocannabinoid Concentrations on Cognitive Performance.

Frontiers in adolescent medicine 2025 Alexander L Wallace, Rachel Baca, Gianna Andrade et al.

The endocannabinoid (eCB) system is a regulatory mechanism that helps to maintain homeostasis in the brain. Cannabis use and circulating eCB disruptions have been linked with altered memory; however, this work has largely been done in animal models with minimal investigation into these relationships by sex. We aim to investigate how circulating eCB concentrations in cannabis using young adults...
