Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Marijuana use has been found to impair cognitive function, particularly in areas such as attention, memory, and learning. These impairments may persist for weeks or months after the user discontinues marijuana use, indicating that there may be long-term effects on brain function. A and C are incorrect as both pharmacodynamic tolerance (tolerance to the effects of a drug due to changes in the body's response to it) and withdrawal symptoms have been reported with marijuana use. D is incorrect as marijuana use has been shown to alter activity in neurotransmitter systems, particularly dopamine.
