There is an emerging consensus that regular cannabis use may be detrimental to the developing brain, including potential long-lasting changes in executive functioning. Consequently, the present study examined neural activation and performance on a working memory n-back task using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) in a sample of young adults (ages 19 to 21) from a longitudinal research sample. Regular cannabis users (n = 10) were compared with no
