    <P align="left">July 1, 2003 -- Long-term and even daily marijuana use doesn't appear to cause permanent brain damage, adding to evidence that it can be a safe and effective treatment for a wide range of diseases, say researchers. </p> <P align="left">
    </p> <P align="left">The researchers found only a "very small" impairment in memory and learning among long-term marijuana users. Otherwise, scores on thinking tests were similar to those who don't smoke marijuana, according to a new analysis of 15 previous studies. </p> <P align="left">
    </p> <P align="left">In those studies, some 700 regular marijuana users were compared with 484 non-users on various aspects of brain function -- including reaction time, language and motor skills, reasoning ability, memory, and the ability to learn new information.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.webmd.com/mental-health/news/20030701/heavy-marijuana-use-doesnt-damage-brain"><div align="center"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.webmd.com/img/BFF55EAB-3855-4CD1-A63C-9CAB7C53393E" alt="WebMD: Better Information.
