For hundreds of years human beings have been using materials to modify their state of mind from caffeine, cigarettes and alcohol to more severe drugs but as the most normally used illicit drug in North the USA in which does marijuana fit in and how exactly does it have an effect on your brain?
First, we need to understand how the brain functions.
Your neurons are the cells that process records within the mind.
Through releasing chemical substances referred to as neurotransmitters from the axon of one neuron to the dendrite of every other they alternate the electric charge of the receiving neuron consequently interesting or inhibiting it.
If excited, the sign's handed on.
Although it sounds easy, these alerts paintings collectively and the effect is fast compounded into complicated configurations inside milliseconds flushing over the complete brain.
That is what occurs each single time you believe you studied, breathe or pass.
So what's happening internal your brain when you're smoking marijuana?
Nicely, unlike alcohol which contains molecules not anything like those in our body, hashish contains molecules that resemble the ones produced in our very personal brains Cannabinoids.
Although clearly, these cannabinoids flow into in an awful lot lower portions as compared to the massive influx imposed via smoking.
In particular, the chemical Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) resembles a herbal transmitter known as Anandamide.
Those cannabinoids are specialised neurotransmitters launched by neurons having simply fired.
Neurons temporarily turn out to be unresponsive after firing to save you them from overreacting or being too dominant.
This lets in your mind to function in a peaceful and managed manner but cannabinoids interrupt this method in some parts of the brain as an alternative, they dispose of the refractory length of neurons which can be already active and cause your thoughts, imagination and belief to absolutely enlarge itself.
This means after you begin your teach of concept it becomes the maximum extensive and profound aspect ever.
You can not see the massive photo, or maybe bear in mind your last epiphany, because you are stuck up within the momentum of a particular idea and your neurons, keep firing till a brand new idea takes to keep and you go off on a brand new tangent.
These cannabinoids also affect the stages of dopamine and norepinephrine for your brain frequently leading to an experience of euphoria, relaxation ache modulation and well-known enhancement of a revel in though now and again inflicting tension.
Moreover, there are cannabinoid receptors in regions controlling short term reminiscence, learning, coordination, movement manipulate, and better cognitive capabilities. source

I come from a country that has a huge weed culture so I'm not really against it. Many people say that weed is not addictive and that may be true but there are some bad things about it too. What I don't like is that is becomes "habitual". Habitual in the sense that instead of doing productive things in your free time that you turn to smoking weed. This means that you'd likely be more successful if you'd have spent the time doing something productive than smoking weed.
It's just my opinion.
I agree. It has the best effect if you are tired and kinda "deserve" it. Otherwise, as everything else in life, it can have a negative effect if it becomes a day-to-day all-day activity.
Weed is bad, m'kay?
Cute visual representations :D
Thanks :)
Good article. Some time ago I was at a lecture from "Promena" movement. The lecturer explained that there is an entire thc system in our body, which is a mirror of the neurotic system. Coincidence? I don't think so.
Thanks! Maybe he is right, but not only THC is important. CBD is way more beneficial and it is partly legal :D
True. But THC has much more healing properties and that's why CBD is legal and is being sold on a silly price
