  • - The study investigates how cannabis use impacts brain activity by comparing 15 healthy individuals, 20 chronic cannabis users, and 15 nicotine smokers through quantitative electroencephalography (QEEG) during resting states.
  • - Results showed cannabis users had higher theta band power and lower beta and gamma band power in various brain regions compared to both healthy individuals and nicotine smokers, with variations noted in both eyes-closed and eyes-open conditions.
  • - The findings highlight that cannabis use alters brain wave patterns, possibly leading to cognitive impairments, which underscores the importance of understanding these changes for developing interventions to address related cognitive deficits.
