Cannabis impares all cognitive functions. (And have a painkiller effect comparable to paracetamol. ) https://www.newser.com/story/205310/studying-math-dont-smoke-marijuana.html You can download the article as pdf from the newser article. There is no problems finding more examples. Interestingly, or maybe not, experienced users are less affected from an acute dose (spliff) than untrained users. So if you are using, you don't get stupider than you are already. https://www.nature.com/articles/1395716 Appart from getting rather slow you also have a serious chance of triggering a psychosis, especially if you get the good strong stuff. https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanpsy/article/PIIS2215-0366(19)30048-3/fulltext
If you doubt academic evidence, try writing an exam after a spliff and see for your self. Don't do it for any important exam though. A demanding cognitive computer game can serve the same function. Alcohol impares cognitive functions. Methylxantines, theobromine (chocolate) teofylline (tea) coffeine (coffee) all improve cognitive functions. Adrenaline improve, sugar improve. Low dose amfetamines are probably good but high dose not so much and low to high is razorthin when you need math. If you only have to run around with a machine gun, you have a much better dose interval. So amfetamines are popular in the army, not so much in the university world. Can have a place if you have ADHD tendency. /Henrik Den ons 28 juli 2021 15:13Bruno Marchal <[email protected]> skrev: > It is the first time I hear that cannabis impairs the mathematical > abilities.
