Impaired learning and memory are most associated with ____
A
marijuana
B
cocaine
C
LSD
D
Ecstasy
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Memory impairment from marijuana use occurs because THC alters how the hippocampus, a brain area responsible for memory formation, processes information. Most of the evidence supporting this assertion comes from animal studies.

Detailed explanation-2: -THC intoxication has been shown to impair cognitive function on a number of levels-from basic motor coordination to more complex tasks, such as the ability to plan, organize, solve problems, make decisions, remember, and control emotions and behavior.

Detailed explanation-3: -When cannabinoids bind to these receptors, they send messages to increase levels of sleep-promoting adenosine and suppress the brain’s arousal system. Together, these effects may help cannabis users feel sedated or sleepy.

Detailed explanation-4: -CBD treatment products aren’t known to impact short-term memory negatively. CBD may even improve cognitive functioning and prevent memory deficits. Many people use CBD regularly for enhanced concentration, focus and overall brain function.

Detailed explanation-5: -Memory and other thinking problems have many possible causes, including depression, an infection, or medication side effects. Sometimes, the problem can be treated, and cognition improves. Other times, the problem is a brain disorder, such as Alzheimer’s disease, which cannot be reversed.
