Naturalistic investigation of cannabis strains varying in THC and CBD ratios and verbal recognition memory
Given that adult cannabis use has become more prevalent, our results have implications to public health. For individuals who use primarily THC-based products, strains that also contain CBD may hold harm reduction potential, as CBD could help mitigate the impact of THC on recognition memory. Notably, bodily sensations of intoxication did not differ significantly between THC-dominant strains with varying amounts of CBD.
