And then There's a new study by a completely separate group than ours on a thousand young marijuana users. And the areas of the brain involved in learning and memory were low in blood flow and activity. So it's not just me, because I have a problem with marijuana. It's other scientists as well, saying marijuana is not great for the brain. (01:48–02:05)
