From the 2nd Link:

> Persistent cannabis use was associated with neuropsychological decline broadly across domains of functioning, even after controlling for years of education. Informants also reported noticing more cognitive problems for persistent cannabis users. Impairment was concentrated among adolescent-onset cannabis users, with more persistent use associated with greater decline. Further, cessation of cannabis use did not fully restore neuropsychological functioning among adolescent-onset cannabis users.

Does the last sentence mean what I think it means. That even after stopping cannabis use, the neuropsychological damage / cognitive problems remained, and didn't rollback the decline from cannabis use?

If yes, it's troubling. All my stoner friends claim no permanent damage from chronic use
