Results advance understanding of acute neurocognitive THC effects. Slower cognitive efficiency after THC was heterogeneous, & related to recent use & subjective drug effects. Acute THC effects on cognitive efficiency (drift rate) may be reduced by individuals’ tolerance to cannabis.

THC weakened cognitive efficiency (slower drift rates) to a greater extent in participants with less cannabis use. Further, stronger subjective effects (drug “effect” and drug “high”) were related to poorer cognitive efficiency during THC intoxication.

In a double-blind THC administration experiment, N = 30 occasional to regular cannabis users (53% men; ages 18–25) received THC (7.5 mg, oral) and placebo. They completed a Go/No Go (GNG) task at the time of peak drug effect. We analyzed GNG data using the drift diffusion model.
