Mapping the acute effects of cannabis on multiple memory domains: A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study

This is the first study to detect acute effects of cannabis on prospective memory and temporal order memory, which is important because these tests better reflect everyday memory and predict daily functioning. Collectively, these results indicate that acute cannabis use has broad detrimental effects on most domains of memory rather than selectively impairing a limited number of these domains. The study was pre-registered on clinicaltrials.gov (#NCT05488509) at https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT05488509.

Abstract

This is the first study to detect acute effects of cannabis on prospective memory and temporal order memory, which is important because these tests better reflect everyday memory and predict daily functioning. Collectively, these results indicate that acute cannabis use has broad detrimental effects on most domains of memory rather than selectively impairing a limited number of these domains. The study was pre-registered on clinicaltrials.gov (#NCT05488509) at https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT05488509.
