Memory problems from cannabis
Think cannabis effects wear off once you decide to quit for good? Think again. New research suggests that heavy marijuana use could impact your brain’s memory functions long after your last use. This finding comes from one of the largest studies ever conducted on how cannabis affects brain function.

1000 people? pfft, might as well have just tested dogs and published the same results.

very easy to 'accidentally' round up 1000 people with undiagnosed memory or brain degredation issues for these kinds of studies.

yeah, typical, all data correction no screening. nice.

Many of us know already people with severe memory problems from using cannabis and the substance is becoming stronger and stronger. In a decade this will be a major mental health problem.
This has been known if there is heavy use before brain development is complete.

As the study says(despite them starting at age 22) it was people with heavy use throughout their lives. This implies that use happened before 22. Most likely in teenage years where the brain is developing the most.

no, being able to use marijuana as a mental health screener would negatively impact false diagnoses resulting in expensive drug regimens. which in turn destabilize an otherwise healthy individual and make them dependent on drug cocktails for the rest of their life.

very doubtful they'd publish such results, if they were true. too much money to lose.

feel free to do your truth; just, y'know, this study is as viable as analyzing the phlegm that comes out of my skull when my subcortical vertibrae pops out of place.

The likelihood of finding 1000 people who show very similar brain function around the same age is too insignificant to make a factor.

Oh, the "it's a coverup to protect big pharma" logic.

oh I thought they diversified the ages, let me look again...pff, might as well be tracking cortical implant rejection and ram packaging with those age ranges.

well I dunno how to respond to that in a normal way. like how would pharma publishing this cover stuff up to protect?

I mean I guess there's the whole layer of covering up the mass testing of cortical implants and cortical ram...idk though man, that sounds like a pipe dream people are always talking about.

As I said above many of us already know people that have severe memory issues because of cannabis use and it is only getting worse. There is a lady setting in the same room with me right now that suffers from degraded memory due to heavy cannabis use when she was younger.

so does it affect her autonomic motor function development, or just her ability to do complex math in axioms which don't verify under rigorous scrutiny?

because most mathemeticians suffer from that second memory issue.

no links to the tests used in the article. just their assurances they were very good, very significant tests.

they literally can't read long paragraphs can they.

sure, using weed from age 6 to age 12 and beyond will typically mess you up analytically and leave you struggling to read at a 4th-6th grade level,

but it also massively increases visualization potential. huge dividends in both arts and applied sciences, like engineering or designing a functional bridge.

these are known factors which this study did not account for, and which are the more likely symptoms affecting your friend.

one way to look at this is as a form of brain specialization, something I think we'll be seeing a lot of moving forwards. particularly given the holy trinity of gene editing, eugenics, and cyberization we're seeing unfold.

however, after 18-25 most brain development of this nature has ceased. weed isn't going to do anything after that point. there isn't a lot of statistical evidence establishing this rigorously, but there was some before general studies into cannabis were shut down.

uhhh could you repeat that?
That's why I only drink alcohol, which has been shown to have no lasting effects.

I think.

Oh yeah, I forgot that any study done is no value because of conspiracy. The standard abcd .

the vast majority of marijuana studies on memory are actually just alcohol studies with the label changed. very bad science happening back in the day.

but, alcohol's negative effects at all ages and all consumption levels are well established.

so has anyone ever actually repeated this kind of thing about me, and you are dunking on them now, or was it just you messing around the whole time and are now dunking yourself?

I need to know if I am receiving an ally oop or slamming you like some metaphors I should not repeat.

I have numerous weed smokers in my family. They all have memory issues. The trouble many people have is believing they have memory issues. You may still be in your 20s or 30s or 40s. You may just not know what you don't know.

But, to me, smoking marijuana is a huge problem for memory.

I'll never be convinced otherwise. I've seen it first hand across many people.

Maybe non-smoking weed sources aren't as bad, but I know for a fact that smoking weed on a daily basis causes massive memory issues. FACT.
