Introduction: Synthetic cannabinoid (SC) use, an important public health problem, is becoming increasingly widespread and leads to many medical and psychiatric problems. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of SC use on cognitive and psychomotor functions of patients. Materials and Methods: The participants (30 outpatients with SC use disorder and 33 healthy controls) were administered the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MOCA) test, the Edinburgh Handedness Inventory (EHI), the Finger-Tapping Test (FTT), and the Adult Memory and Information Processing Battery-B form (AMIPB-B). Results: The SC users scored lower in AMIPB-B, MOCA. and FTT compared to the healthy controls. Conclusion: These findings suggest that SC might impair both cognitive and psychomotor functions. Therefore, outpatients with SC use disorder should be carefully evaluated for cognitive and psychomotor functions since neurological examinations and interventions may also be required in treatment programs for these cases.
