The Truth About Cannabis and Memory

At Altius Dispensary, we believe in providing accurate information about cannabis to our customers. One common misconception we often encounter is that cannabis use inevitably leads to significant memory loss. Today, we’re here to debunk this myth and provide you with the facts.

The Myth

Many people believe that using cannabis, whether for recreational or medicinal purposes, will result in permanent memory damage. This fear has been perpetuated by decades of misinformation and anti-drug campaigns.

The Reality

While it’s true that cannabis can affect short-term memory while under the influence, research shows that these effects are typically temporary. In fact, some studies suggest that certain cannabinoids may even have neuroprotective properties, potentially benefiting brain health in the long run.

Key Points to Consider:

• Short-term effects on memory are usually temporary and subside once the cannabis leaves your system.
• Long-term, moderate use has not been conclusively linked to permanent memory impairment in adults.
• Some cannabis compounds, like CBD, may have potential cognitive benefits.
• Individual responses can vary based on factors such as frequency of use, potency, and consumption method.

At Altius Dispensary, we’re committed to helping our customers make informed decisions about their cannabis use. Our knowledgeable staff can guide you through our selection of products and discuss any concerns you may have about potential effects.
