And Myelination results in a quicker transmission of information along the neurons and very important in cerebral nervous system which increases cognitive function.

Amygdala also takes part in connecting emotional meaning to the memories we have. And is also responsible to processing rewards and decision making.

Marijuana use can also  cause functional impairment in cognitive abilities but that the degree and/or duration of the impairment depends on the age when a person began using and how much and how long he or she used.

During this stage of brain development, the brain does not think about the consequences as deep as it thinks about the pros of the situation; the benefits. And in turn this leads to some disastrous activity that could further impair their future and their lives.
