You didn't read the article but instead rely on your bias alone.
Life long moderate cannabis use improves memory function. That's the main takeaway from the research.
- 4gotunameagain 8mo agoWe all know that there is no way this is true though, let's be honest :)

- jstanley 8mo agoHaving memory issues after quitting cannabis is not inconsistent with having good memory while using cannabis.
- aurareturn 8mo agoPeople have better memory while using cannabis? News to me.
- jstanley 8mo agoThe post you replied to stated: > Life long moderate cannabis use improves memory function. That's the main takeaway from the research. Had you forgotten already? :) (I don't actually know if it's true; I have no idea. I was just pointing out that if "lifelong" cannabis use improves memory function, and your observation is that your memory got worse after you quit cannabis... that is not a contradiction).
- suby 8mo agoI would have a very hard time accepting it to be true. They don't even strongly make the claim that it is true, they are correlating areas of the brain associated with memory as growing larger, and they are associating a larger brain area with better cognition, but later in the article indicate that there are some areas of the brain which are associated with memory which actually shrink. I think we should question research which is overwhelmingly against our common experience of life. My memory is absolutely shot when I am consuming weed regularly. It's not particularly subtle, it is noticeably worse. I suppose there is room for a situation in which it is worse while I am heavily using, but if I were to cease maybe it will rebound and settle at a point which is better than it would have been had I not consumed any cannabis... but I don't see any reason to believe this.
- DonHopkins 8mo agoNo no, please use the best possible interpretation: he pre-forgot.
- bratwurst3000 8mo agoit doesnt. It does things with the region of the brain that is asociated with memory we still dont understand. Honestly in my peer group, weed or no weed, people behave mostly the same memory wise.
