There is good evidence as well that emotional memories are hardest hit. The laying down of such memory traces is, of course, a key step in the process of emotional learning, ie emotional maturation, ie growing up.

This is evident in the myriad adults who began their MJ habit in their mid teens, and are emotionally stuck there decades later.

It is also the reason why, if a patient comes to me (a shrink) and wants psychotherapy/counseling, and is smoking even a little bit of MJ, I tell them they can have psychotherapy or they can have psychotherapy (emotional learning), but they cannot have both, at least not from me. For me as a doctor, it’s not not at all a legal or even a moral issue - the two are simply incompatible. Psychotherapy simply won’t work in someone using MJ. It also presents a complicating factor if I prescribe meds. In private practice, I have the luxury (at least for now) of selecting who I will and who I will not work with, and if a patient is using MJ and won’t stop, I simply refer them on.

The Libertarians and Dems are fighting over these chumps. The recent election, many states just made medical marijuana legal, a real joke the way this has turned out in California so look for more of the same. I see this medical marijuana dude (notice his derby and pigtail hair) on TV a lot
