"Long-term cannabis use changes the structure of the brain and leaves users demotivated and unable to make decisions, a study suggests.

Cannabis can be legally prescribed in Britain for some medical conditions and is often viewed as low-risk or harmless by recreational users.

But researchers from Fidmag Germanes Hospitalàries Research Foundation in Spain found extended use is linked to ‘thinning’ in the frontal cortex of the brain.

Thinning in this area, which is involved in high-level planning and executive function, could mean a loss or shrinkage of important brain cells, or fewer connections between those cells.

Leader author Ana Aquino-Servin said the findings mean that regular, heavy users of cannabis may find it hard to be motivated to do complex tasks."
