Cannabis & Schizophrenia

In this article, researchers were looking on the effects of cannabis on the memory and decision taking impacts to find a relationship between cannabis and schizophrenia. They found a relationship between the cannabis and schizophrenia effects and it was a special effect that seem to confuse the transmitter signal in the brain. This confusion is more likely to affect the memory and decision taking because the brain requires these signals to make good decision and remember the information. In fact, to have these brain problem you must consume a lot and in a certain way abuse of drugs so it doesn’t make drugs bad, but in a certain way, if consumers are not careful, it can become a serious problem.
