Summary

This study investigates how THC and CBD in cannabis affect recognition memory in healthy adults who use cannabis regularly. Participants perform a memory task after smoking cannabis and on a separate sober day, while their brain activity is recorded via EEG. Blood samples measure THC and CBD levels. The goal is to understand how different cannabis strains influence memory processes like familiarity and recollection.
