Paper Four Articles

For my Paper Four I decided to talk about the effects of cannabis and whether or not it should be legalized due to its effects. I chose this topic because this is something that I hear a lot of on the news and radio so I thought it would be a good argumentative paper. The first article I found was titled, "Neuroimaging in cannabis use: a systematic review of the literature". This article has a lot of useful information regarding cannabis effects on brain structure and functions. It contains information on tests and studies that were conducted using testers and the ones that were given placebos. An all around interesting and useful article.

The next article I found very interesting as well. It was called, "Long-term effects of cannabis on eye movement control in reading". This was another study that was ran. It focused on 20 healthy/frequent cannabis users and compared them to 20 non-users. They wanted to see whether or not cannabis had any effects on human cognition and visuomotor skills. Also they were wanting to see the eye movement when reading sentences. They believe that cannabis effects that over time. I found these articles to be very useful and interesting sources for my paper.
