Age-dependent effects of cannabinoids on emotion, cognition and vulnerablity to addiction

大麻是澳大利亚使用最广泛的非法药物，因此了解这种药物的影响非常重要。目前在澳大利亚几乎没有关于大麻的基础研究。然而，这种研究对于解决我们对药物理解中固有的模棱两可和困难至关重要。增加我们对这种药物对发育中的年轻大脑的长期影响的了解的重要性尤为明显。在当前项目中获得的信息将为医疗和科学界、政府政策制定者以及更广泛的澳大利亚社区提供信息。

Cannabis is the most widely used illicit drug in Australia so understanding the effects of this drug is of great importance. There is little of no basic research on cannabis currently occurring in Australia. Yet such research is critical in resolving the ambiguities and difficulties inherent in our understanding of the drug. The importance of increasing our understanding of the long-term effects of the drug on young developing brains is particularly evident. The information gained in the current project will serve to inform medical and scientific communities, government policy makers, as well as the broader Australian community.
