I've used a lot of weed in my day. I'm 21 and have been smoking weed daily in stints since about 16. My question is this: is the score in on weed causing cognitive impairment yet? Or is the research too early in its development to say?

Yes, and depending on the quality there could be other issues from consuming heavy metals, etc.

There is research about hemp drawing up heavy metals from the soil, and Cannabis definitely does the same thing. That's why shitty growmore fertilizer weed gives you terrible toxic highs.

Growth of weed can actually be quite complex. As for the actually effects of severe THC I'd say they're minimal. With sustained abstinence you'll be alright if you stop now.

thanks for reply, friend. Didn't know about metals. Interesting... Do you know anything about the sustinance of a certain fat in the brain (thc?)? Apparently it could take years to flush out of my system, and in the meanwhile causes cognitive dysfunction in certain areas.

It's not going to take years that's ridiculous. In severe users I could see it taking a few weeks or up to even a month.

>who to trust
There's actually a really trivial experiment you can do (anyone can) that lets you know just how easy it is to figure out what sort of information to trust.

Take the work in question. Look it over. Now take out a pen and paper. Start writing down all the information you can from the source material.

Did it take you more than five minutes to transcribe all the information in the document? Then it might be legitimately meaningful.

D-THC, like many cannabinoids agonists suppresses the LTP (long-term potentiation), although with some self-control temporarily curbing LTP can be useful, but consistently abusing it, obviously has negative effects on your mental state, particularly during your neurological development.

This is probably the worst board to ask this question (ironic isn't it?). If you have a disability and cannabis helps you, disregard the people on here arguing otherwise. I can't function without cannabis, and I don't smoke a whole lot but I have been smoking since around 13 and I'm 29 now. I only stopped for a short period of time when I was in the military. I finished school and all that jazz, BS in biochemistry, 3.5 gpa. If it causes cognitive impairment, I'm yet to experience it.
