Abstract

Chronic marijuana intake was known to induce morphological changes to the brain impairing memory and learning ability. However, several studies demonstrated the protective effect of marijuana post-brain traumas. This article reviews studies that strengthen our horizon to understand the effects of marijuana smoking in brain. This review predicts that optimum use of marijuana or pure marijuana compound can be beneficial or detrimental depending on the consumed dose.
