effects of marijuana and THC. Marijuana use during
adolescence or early adulthood, before the brain is fully
developed, could affect how the brain forms connections
for functions such as attention, memory and learning.
These effects could last for a long time or even be
permanent. Recent marijuana use (defined as within 24
hours) directly affects the parts of the brain responsible
for decision-making, coordination, emotions, and
reaction time, and can impair important skills needed to
operate a vehicle. in a safe way.
