Cannabis use and cognitive performance

2018-05-19 15:57:45
I am soon 19 and i want to smoke cannabis. I red something about cannabis lowering IQ and cognitive performance in those who started smoking it in adolescence years. How would cannabis affect my cognitive performance if i smoked it infrequently,lets say 1-5 times per 2 weeks.
