🧠💨 Heavy Cannabis Use May Affect Brain Function

A new study looked at over 1,000 young adults and found that people who have used cannabis heavily in their lifetime (over 1,000 times) had less brain activity during memory and thinking tasks.

Even people who used recently (based on a urine test) showed lower brain activity—but the biggest difference was seen in long-term heavy users, even if they hadn’t used recently.

The parts of the brain affected are important for memory, focus, and decision-making.

📌 The researchers say that using cannabis a lot, or even just recently, might make it harder for your brain to “switch on” when you need it for tasks like remembering things or solving problems.

💬 The lead author said it might help to avoid cannabis before doing something that requires a lot of brainpower—but heavy users might also feel a dip in thinking ability if they suddenly stop using.

⚠️ The study doesn’t prove cannabis causes these brain changes, and it only looked at young adults. Still, it’s a good reminder to be mindful about how much and how often cannabis is used.
