Long-term use of cannabis or cannabis-based drugs can impair memory, shows study


July 23, 2018

Long-term use of either cannabis or cannabis-based drugs impairs memory say researchers.

The study has implications for both recreational users and people who use the drug to combat epilepsy, multiple sclerosis and chronic pain.

They found that mice exposed to the drug long-term had "significant … memory impairments" and could not even discriminate between a familiar and novel object.

I display the Confederate Battle Flag in honor of my great great great grandfathers who spilled blood at Wilson's Creek and Shiloh.  5 others served in the WBTS with honor too.

So what do they define as "Long Term"?
