There are families characterized by negative behavior patterns framed by drug abuse at home. Parental drug use can affect the development of executive functions. Objective: to determine the relationship between family functionality with executive functions and neurotransmitters in adolescent children of adults addicted to marijuana. Method: correlational and applied study of clinical and comparative methodological design with n=35 divided into two groups of adolescents. The instruments used were FACES III, Stroop Color Word and Barratt Impulsivity Scale. Dopamine was measured in urine through the ELISA test. R was used considering a level of significance p≤.05. Results: The mean age was 14.11±2.53 years. The mean dopamine for the study group was 228.83±83.40 ng/ml and for the comparison group 182.19±24.52 ng/ml. There is a correlation of -.605 with a significance of .003 between the cohesion dimension of family functionality and cognitive impulsivity. Conclusion: There are differences between the groups, but there is no statistically significant data that family functionality alters executive functions and neurotransmitters in adolescent children of adults addicted to marijuana.
