"Although generally well-tolerated by our participants, smoking cannabis was accompanied by acute cognitive effects."
However researcher noted that "the clinical significance of this result is uncertain; despite the transient decrease in scores, patients were still within normal ranges for their ages and levels of education," the investigators pointed out in the paper.
"It is worth noting that conventional treatments, such as baclofen and tizanidine hydrochloride, may also affect cognition, although published data are scarce," they added.

Itse en suosi (enkä suosittele) lääkekannabiksen polttamista. Kannabiksesta voi myös höyrystää vaikuttavat aineet, ilman savua ja sen haitallisia ominaisuuksia. Mutta lääkevaikutukset saa tarvittaessa siis polttamallakin. :)
