It is suggested that chronic exposure to a cannabinoid receptor agonist well after the immediate postnatal period, but before reaching sexual maturity, can lead to increased anxiety and a lasting impairment of working memory.

It is suggested that adolescent rats find repeated Δ9-THC exposure less aversive than adults, but that cannabinoid exposure causes greater lasting memory deficits and hippocampal alterations in adolescent than adult rats.
Increased Anxiety 3 Months after Brief Exposure to MDMA (‘Ecstasy’) in Rats: Association with Altered 5-HT Transporter and Receptor Density

Interestingly, long-term 5-HT depletion may not be necessary to produce lasting effects on anxiety-like behavior after low-dose MDMA, suggesting that even brief, relatively low- dose MDMA exposure can produce significant,Long-term changes in5-HT receptor and transporter function and associated emotional behavior.
