Abstract
Marihuāna aizvien kļūst izplatītāka visā pasaulē, un dažās Eiropas valstīs tā pat sāk kļūt par likumīgu. Tās ir psihodēliskās zāles, kuras parasti tiek lietotas jauniešu vidū. Ir dažādi kaņepinoīdu veidi, ko sauc par THC un CBD, un pētījumi ir parādījuši, ka kaņepju lietošana var izraisīt dažādas iespējamās sekas. Šī pētījuma mērķis bija izpētīt, kā marihuāna ietekmē atmiņu, un tā mērķis bija atbildēt uz šādu pētījuma jautājumu: “Kā tā ietekmē cilvēka ilgtermiņa un īstermiņa atmiņu?”. Pētījums parādīja, ka lielākajai daļai dalībnieku ir bijuši dažāda veida atmiņas zudumi un tika novērots, ka kaņepju lietošana negatīvi ietekmē īstermiņa un ilgtermiņa atmiņu.
Cannabis is becoming more and more common around the world and is even starting to become legal in some countries in Europe. It is a psychoactive drug commonly used amongst young adults. There are different types of cannabinoids called THC and CBD, and studies have shown that there are several possible consequences that one can suffer from through the usage of cannabis. This study aimed to investigate how cannabis affects the memory, and aimed to answer the following research question: “How does cannabis affect long- and short-term memory of humans?”. The study showed that a majority of the participants have suffered various types of memory loss and it was commonly agreed upon that usage of cannabis has a negative impact on short- and long-term memory.
