REUTERS: People who have recently used cannabis may be more likely to experience memory deficits or difficulties with cognitive function than those who don't use the drug, a recent study suggests.

"These individuals would likely have THC chronically circulating in their system and, in turn, cognitive consequences," MacKillop said by email."This applies to heavy recreational users who are consuming daily too of course." In the study, 482 participants, or 43 per cent, had never used cannabis. Another 317 people, or 28 per cent, had only tried cannabis up to 10 times, while 139 people, or 12 per cent, used cannabis between 11 and 100 times.
