Abstract

The effects of marijuana and a placebo on perceptual-motor coordination, motor ability, and visual perception were compared in cannabis-experienced and naïve subjects. Impairments in coordination were observed in both groups. However, the impairment was greater in the experienced than in the naïve group.
