Abstract
Cannabis is by far the most widely used and abused drug listed on the Drug Enforcement Administration's Schedule I, which includes drugs with a high potential for abuse. There is evidence of short‐term negative effects of cannabis use on cognition, but only a limited number of studies have explored the association between cannabis use and age‐related cognitive decline. The aim of the present study was to investigate the relationship between cannabis use and age‐related cognitive decline from early adulthood to late midlife.
