It was found that smoking cannabis just as harmful as any other drugs or cigarettes. And to this conclusion was reached independently by scientists from different countries and even from different continents. For example, Jean Cady from the U.S. National Institute to Combat Drug Abuse in Baltimore tested the 54 addict. All of them have made sonography – a procedure that allows to see how blood moves in the vessels of the brain. It turns out that marijuana is strongly makes it difficult to flow to the brain. Organism to cope with oxygen deprivation, increases blood flow, leading to increased intracranial pressure (and there and before the stroke near!) And headaches. As a consequence worsening, and memory, and, more smokes “Kosyachkov” a day drug addict, the worse his condition.

The same conclusion was reached and Greek scientists tested three groups of volunteers: novice smokers of cannabis, addicts with years of experience and those who smoke very rarely. The first two groups are much less cope with the task of memory, attention and speed of reaction than the control group. The hardest of tests were observed specifically in the memory – task to memorize different sequences of words. Shown their results were far below as the norm! Spanish scientists have in Barcelona went further and conducted a sophisticated test on mice, which proved that cannabis leads to a change in the process of production of proteins in the brain areas that are under the influence of smoking cannabis. “It is very important, because changes in protein synthesis indicate that long-term changes that do not disappear the next day “- told them. However, it is unknown how long the memory can be affected, and whether the memory is restored when to quit? In general, a well thought it worth it? and if you do not give up the jamb into the holy belief that cannabis is harmless, do not be surprised one morning to forget not only where are the socks, but your name.
