And so This at least is the kind of the theory that I have about what it is that it's doing is, you know, and I think you can make this analogy for multiple different things.
You know, if we talk about pain or stress, we can say similar kinds of things are going on, is that endocannabinoids normally do one thing, but when THC hits the brain, it's still activating these circuits in addition to everything else it hits.

So you still drive that response that the endocannabinoid system normally physiologically controls, but you're almost like tricking the brain into thinking you're in that state now. And so then, yeah, you go into food-seeking behavior mode.

I mean, honestly, this is a bit of a tricky one to speak to because I just don't think there's good evidence for it. Either way or? I just don't. I mean, as far as I'm aware, it hasn't been studied in a lot of depth.

I mean, there's some things, you know, a lot of the stuff that's been done is usually more like kind of acute memory tasks, like a working memory or recall or something like this, as opposed to explicitly studying focus. Anecdotally, there is certainly a lot of people that report that. Yeah.

I don't think I would say that. I don't think you could lump anything in that context. I mean, I would say the only thing you can say confidently that I would be comfortable saying is that acutely while someone's intoxicated on cannabis, there is definitely short-term effects on memory processing. So people tend to- Negative effects or enhancements or decrements?

I would say most of it has to do with recall or consolidation. So there does seem to be some, I mean, certainly the animal evidence is very compelling there, but again, we can talk to what some of the limitations of that are. But in humans, I would say most of the work that's been done would suggest there is some short-term memory deficits that are present during the intoxicated state.

I have not seen very much compelling evidence of long-term effects that emerge like when someone's not intoxicated but they use cannabis somewhat regularly. I don't think there's anything compelling for that.
