Brain is the primary target organ when using cannabis
An entire year for brain recovery
“Cannabis cessation produces substantial neurocognitive recovery, particularly within the first year. However, recovery requires extended clinical support, age-stratified approaches, and systematic cognitive monitoring.”

New research shows cannabis may impair more than just verbal memory—it can disrupt multiple types of everyday memory, including how we remember events, timing, and even create false memories. These findings suggest broader cognitive impacts than previously understood, with real implications for daily functioning. #CannabisResearch #CognitiveHealth #MemoryScience journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/02…

Quality control, or lack thereof in the pot industry.
That is NOT medicine. It’s greed
Inflating THC content to make more money
"contained lower levels of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) than what the label displayed."

Progressive drug policies in CO are NOT helping it’s amorous relationship with drugs
"Fentanyl possession and distribution penalties have long been a contentious at the state Capitol, stemming from a 2019 law that reduced penalties for possession of up to 4 grams of the drug from a felony to a misdemeanor"

"Regular cannabis co-use had a negative impact on
tobacco abstinence among younger to middle-aged adults"
Kevin Sabet@KevinSabet
Another 💣: regular marijuana use threatens tobacco abstinence— not surprising to those who know the literature. Substances are often used together. (And that includes alcohol too.)

Who’s being targeted?
Tobacco 2.0
“63% of respondents aged 16 to 20noticed cannabis marketing in the past 12 months. That was the highest rate of any age group. Young people too young to legally buy cannabis saw the most ads.”

@KevinSabet @TheLancet Don’t forget this one from another IASIC advisor:
"The current evidence base is not sufficient to support
the use of cannabis for the treatment of mental health conditions and demonstrates substantial risks of adverse effects"

Wow!
Betsy Kosheff@betsykosheff
New canabis research finds THC can create false memories, not just impair recall. Participants under marijuana were far more likely to confidently remember words that were never presented. Implications for driving, workplace safety, and eyewitness testimony deserve more attention. @learnaboutsam @madras_bertha sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/…
