Is there a study of memory loss in alcohol vs thc?

Question

Has anyone heard of a study comparing the short term memory loss of a marijuana user compared to that of an alcohol user? i wonder what the results would be like.

Answer 1

alcohol has a black-out point where you know the chain of events while you are doing it, but when you wake up in the morning, you may not remember so clearly.

THC makes you forget everything you were just about to do, but when you wake up the next morning, you remember exactly how stupid you looked and acted

Answer 2

Marijuana only cause short term memory loss while high, but has no long term side effects.  Alcohol on the other hand kills brain cells and destroys the liver.

Answer 3

to the guy above me...... so what if i only smoke a little of godd cronic and not smoke cronicaly?

Answer 4

Contrary to the previous poster, pot kills brains cells as well.

While STM might only be affected while high, LTM is affected after chronic use of pot.
