A study of long-term medicinal cannabis users has found that cannabis consumption did not affect performance on a range of cognitive tests that measured attentional processing, reaction time, and simple information processing speed, suggesting that tolerance may be playing a role in mitigating the effects of cannabis. However, it did lead to poorer performance on a test of visuomotor attention - the coordination between vision and movement - highlighting the potential sensitivity of this task to cannabis consumption. The researchers say more research is needed to determine if these changes would translate into changes in driving capacity.
