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.

And even in that case, like Carrie Cutler who's at Washington State, she's done a lot of this stuff looking at cognitive processing and different kinds of memory tasks in users while they're stoned often. And – Within a person, either they have adapted to using it as much as they do, or they've developed some form of tolerance to it.

But even in regular users, the impact on memory processing is usually not super robust. It's still there. The effects that are more often seen in kind of, let's say, smaller laboratory studies where they're using people who've used cannabis but aren't regular users might be a little bit more profound because they may not be used to that state, let's say.

I mean, there's certainly something we call state-dependent learning, which I'm sure you're familiar with. And this is something people – I mean, I remember learning about this in undergrad through alcohol. So like, you know, someone, first time they get drunk, tries doing something, they're very bad at the task.

So like, you know, someone, first time they get drunk, tries doing something, they're very bad at the task.

But if every time they're drunk, they do that task, they become better at doing it under the influence. And so then all of a sudden, you know, they regularly do this task while they're drunk and someone tests them and they don't look like they're impaired at all because they've done it so much.

I don't think better off, no. But they would probably score better than someone who had never studied drunk and came to the test drunk. Correct. Just because they had had some state-dependent learning. And so I think when we're talking about, if you're talking about someone who's a chronic cannabis user, they're going to have done a lot of cognitive tasks while they're under the influence.

And so if you acutely test them, the impairment you might see in them is probably less than you would see in someone who's relatively naive or a much less experienced user. That being said, I think it's,
