Marijuana users may have ‘false memories’: Brain scans reveal how cannabis smokers can live in their own reality

• Brains scans showed cannabis users have a less active hippocampus
• This is the area that is associated with storing and retrieving memories
• Memory problems persisted months after someone stopped smoking

Marijuana users may have ‘false memories’: Brain scans reveal how cannabis smokers can live in their own reality

It has certainly been my experience that cannabis smokers live in their own reality. Just try arguing with some of them.

So glad you posted that again.

So many vets and others who are traumatized and suffering with PTSD are using and self-medicating to reduce the memories. Problem is, therapies help to cope with those memories or rewrite the reaction to those memories. Therefore, using will halt any real healing. Just my inexperienced take on it. I am not a med person, but if it does keep them hopeful till they can get real help. Go for it.
