Osaka University study identifies how cannabis stunts your brain development

A world-first study has identified how cannabis can damage brain circuits to cause significant long-term damage. As our brains develop, we form neural circuits which hold our short-term memory. This process pushes out unnecessary projections, leaving only correct systematic connections in the circuit. These circuits allow us to retrieve recent information such as where you left your keys or what someone just said. They also act as a foundation for long-term memory.
