TBO Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022  Cannabis Use Produces Persistent Cognitive Impairments  Neuroscience News 23 seconds ago Summary: Cannabis use leads to cognitive impairments that extend beyond the period of intoxication. Source: Society for the Study of Addiction A systematic review published today in the scientific journal Addiction has found that cannabis use leads to acute cognitive impairments that may continue beyond the period of intoxication. This Canadian-led meta-review (review of reviews) merged the findings of 10 meta-analyses representing more than 43,000 participants. The study found that cannabis intoxication leads to small to moderate cognitive impairments in areas including: making decisions, suppressing inappropriate responses, learning through reading and listening, the ability to remember what one reads or hears, and the time needed to complete a mental task. “Our study enabled us to highlight several areas of cognition impaired by cannabis use, including problems concentrating and difficulties remembering and learning, which may have considerable impact on users’ daily lives,” said the study’s co-author Dr. Alexandre Dumais, Associate Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at Université de Montréal. “Cannabis use in youth may consequently lead to reduced educational attainment, and, in adults, to poor work performance and dangerous driving. These consequences may be worse in regular and heavy users.” Cannabis is the third most consumed psychoactive substance in the world (after alcohol and nicotine) and adolescents as well as young adults have the highest rates of cannabis use. Recent global changes in the legalization of cannabis suggest that public perceptions of its safety and acceptability are on the rise. It is therefore important to understand the cognitive risks involved in using cannabis, especially to young people, whose brains are undergoing significant developmental changes. https://neurosciencenews.com/cannabis-cognition-19945/#amp_tf=From %1%24s&aoh=16429143241892&csi=0&referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com&share=https%3A%2F%2Fneurosciencenews.com%2Fcannabis-cognition-19945%2F 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walt Longmire Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 A friend of mine used to say he was so much smarter when he was stoned, but reality told a far different story. Like the time he removed the driveline from his truck while parked on a steep driveway......without the park brake set.....or the wheels chocked. Yeah, he got ran over. There are more stories. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's mainly the edibles and concentrate dab/wax that do that. Straight up flower whether indica, sativa, or hybrid is not gonna kill your entire day and night like edibles will. I bet there are members here who are EMTs that have some rather funny stories regarding patients who have overdosed on edibles and are freaking out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hook Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 My friend who is 50 has been smoking pot since the seventh grade has lived with his mom for the past 12 years with no job. His mom died last year he now lives on welfare. He plays video games 8-12 hours a day every day. No bullshit. People on the online game felt sorry for him and did a go fund me thing and paid two months of his rent. He’s a lazy bastard. He used to work when he lived in AK but he left here cause his mom wanted him back with her in liberal commiefornia. So he gave up everything to appease his mom. I was like dude you’re 40 years old be a man. But no he’d rather live in his mommies couch smokin dope. **** him I no longer talk to him. He’s another parasite living off the government tit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I'd rather my tax money go to someone like that who isn't harming anyone instead of going to some ghetto trash ******* who smokes crack all day and beats his wife and kids and goes out robbing people. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maser Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 I really wish smart phone cams were as plentiful back in my party days as they are now because I would have loved to be able to be sober and watch the stupid conversations my friends and I had when high. Back then a mini-DV or VHS-C cam was what was brought out, but not even remotely as convenient as smart phone cams nowadays. The most notable conversation that I'm always reminded about is one where I was high off mushrooms and weed and apparently got into a rather deep and serious discussion about my friend's mom's decorative glass bottles she had on the coffee table in front of us. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, that was MJ, and hash was much worse, the blond and the red choked me pretty bad. And the black knocked my lights out. I smoked Turkish hash while I was in Germany. I think that the blond style nearly strangled me at times. It’s been over 40 years, and it’s hard to recall details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
