Marijuana directly affects the area of the brain that controls these two functions that begin with the letter “M”.
Memory- When THC attaches to the receptors in the hippocampus, it weakens short-term memory. The hippocampus also communicates with other brain regions that process new information into long-term memory. In the brain, under the influence of marijuana, new information may never register—and may be lost from memory.

As a result of these symptoms, some uses tend to perform poorly in school or at work.
