Show Notes
New study from Washington State University reveals that cannabis use impairs multiple memory systems, not just simple recall. Researchers found that moderate doses of THC significantly impact verbal memory, false memory, source memory, and prospective memory. These impairments can affect everyday functions like tracking conversations, remembering information sources, and planning future tasks. False memories were particularly common. However, episodic content memory, the recall of personal events, remained unaffected. This research underscores the need for further study as cannabis use becomes more prevalent, particularly in relation to accurate recall in critical situations like eyewitness accounts.
