It coats itself on cells in general, with a pretty long half life, hence its detectability long after imbibing. In particular, it coats itself on synapses, throughout the body. Amongst that subset, it coats itself on brain synapses in particular. Amongst that subset, it coats itself on hippocampus synapses in particular. The hippocampus is often described as the secretary of the brain, a system for knowing where information is stored, or access to memories.
The study showed that the THC impairs function, but found no evidence of damage, short or long term, in contrast to alcohol. From that I implied
1. THC in the brain is like training with heavy shoes - if you can function well with it there, you'll go even better after you remove it, and
2. THC preserves synapses for use later in life when they get more scarce (senility).
