Marijuana produces immediate, temporary changes in thoughts, perceptions, and information processing. The cognitive process most clearly affected by marijuana is short-term memory. In laboratory studies, subjects under the influence of marijuana have no trouble remembering things they learned previously. However, they display diminished capacity to learn and recall new information

That took me about 30 seconds.
First of all, you copied and pasted off a site without giving reference, as evidenced by the numbers being represented by "#"s.

Look at the dates on those, the last reference is from 1998, the studies they referenced were from before that.

You can look up the people who've done MY studies in Wikipedia.

Who is Brookoff, D.; Cook, C. S.; Williams, C.; and Mann, C. S.? In 1994? Twelve years ago?

It has been shown, in this millenium, that tobacco smoke and marijuana smoke affect the lungs differently.

Can you please reference some current material?

Show some studies (the key word "studies") that weren't before we knew that the Government payed to find a negative aspect (of Herb), couldn't, but found that it cured Cancer, instead, so they shut down the studies.
