Twenty-seven adult male marihuana smokers volunteered to participate in a hospital research ward study for a 31-day period. Following five days of baseline acclimatization, subjects could purchase and smoke marihuana cigarettes on a free choice basis for a period of 21 consecutive days. The marihuana smoking period was followed by a concluding five-day baseline. Measurements of simple reaction time, choice reaction time and short-term memory were carried out during the entire study. Analysis of variance revealed no statistically significant differences between control and marihuana performance; however, a correlational analysis showed that individual subject performances on all three tasks were significantly correlated from test session to test session during control conditions but not during marihuana smoking conditions. Findings are discussed in relation to attentional and motivational factors associated with performance on the three tasks.
