Memory loss: While many point to marijuana as the main memory-loss culprit, memory loss can result from various types of drug use. With the brain in a haze, it’s hard to remember what you just said or did. Suddenly, once easy tasks seem very complicated. Drug abuse affects the prefrontal cortex and hippocampus regions of the brain, which are responsible for thinking and memory functions.
Loss of coordination: Drugs affect a person’s coordination and severely impair basic motor skills. Athletic abilities, driving skills and equilibrium are all impacted when the cerebellum suffers a short circuit brought on by drug use.
Inability to control moods: Various drugs affect the amygdala, which is the part of the brain that controls emotion and motivation.
