Features of higher mental functions of people taking cannabinoids

The debates about legalization of soft drugs has created a demand for scientific data on objective harm caused by them, however, so far there is clearly not enough data verified by neuropsychology. The paper presents a comparative study of two groups of young men aged 18-30 years old (this group is the major one among cannabinoids consumers). It is shown that the use of cannabinoids leads to the lowering of integration between cognitive processes and defective memory (delayed recall) while maintaining the overall effective cognitive activity at a relatively normal level.
