Materials and methods
Cannabis sativa seed was extracted with Soxhlet apparatus. To test spatial memory, Morris water mazemaze (7 days, 4 trails) was used.

Experimental groups with 25 mg.kg-1, 50 mg.kg-1, 150 mg.kg -1 were injected in the peritoneal (IP) and after one hour of injection spatial memory was scaled.

Results
The results show that experimental groups (50 mg.kg-1,100 mg.kg-1,150 mg.kg -1 doses), for learning time have significant level deduction in the comparison with control group (p < 0.05).

Conclusions
We demonstrate Cannabis sativa seed in low doses can cause Spatial memory improvement but in high dose has not significant level in comparison with control group.
