From the actual study. The effect is small to moderate and the study did not conclude that it causes permanent harm. Most of the deficit was seen in heavy users and the study at hand was actually a meta-meta-analysis
>Meta-analytical data on the acute effects of cannabis use on neurocognitive function have shown that cannabis intoxication leads to small to moderate deficits in several cognitive domains
>small-to-moderate adverse effects and residual neurocognitive deficits were observed in heavy cannabis-using youths. Results showed no significant difference between cannabis users and non-users on language, and small-to-moderate effects for simple motor skills
Please post the study instead of media reporting on the study, reporters like to overblow things and misconstrue statements

- avodonosov 5y agoI thought about posting the study only, but the CNN article has two links (the one you mention and https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3037578/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3037578/) and also some comments by researchers, so I desided to post the article. From the nih.gov publication: > Cannabis appears to continue to exert impairing effects in executive functions even after 3 weeks of abstinence and beyond. While basic attentional and working memory abilities are largely restored, the most enduring and detectable deficits are seen in decision-making, concept formation and planning.
