Summary
2019 North American Cannabis Summit 32
In males, long-lasting effects of adolescent cannabinoid exposurelead to decreased anxiety-like behaviors, increased reward-related cognitive flexibility, and increased nicotine intake duringadulthood.
Female mice exhibited differential effects than males, withcannabinoid treatment leading to decreased weight gain duringadolescence, and decreased natural reward consumption andnicotine intake during adulthood.
Together, these data provide evidence of long-term effects ofcannabinoid exposure on later affective, cognitive and nicotinetaking behaviors in adulthood.
