A study found that "cannabis use is not uniformly harmful to cognition in older adults," "past use was linked to better performance and slower decline in some cognitive domains" and "specific usage patterns, such as longer duration, were associated with poorer outcomes in other domains."

A study concluded that "the core abuse potential methods that serve U.S. [Controlled Substances Act] scheduling and global new drug scheduling are generally reliable for many categories of drugs but need to be modified and perhaps supplemented with additional outcome measures to more fully and accurately characterize potential abuse-related risks."
