Humans and weed obviously evolved in parallel. Moderation is key.
Zachary Reed
>which render the neural ligands anandamide and 2-AG inoperative. assuming this is true, what are the actual concrete consequences of these neural ligands being made inoperative.
also doesn't dark chocolate activate endocannabinoid receptors? is chocolate degenerate?
Ian Robinson
> Means the brain is comprised of complex signaling subunits with feedback and feedforward control and the brains signal, being transmitted with human neurotransmitters is overpowered with a flood of THC and CBD, much like an important legal or medical conversation intended to be transmitted via shortwave can be overpowered by a Justin Bieber song transmitted by an overpowered Pirate Mexican Radio station. The information is lost.
William Robinson
your brain uses an endo(produced by your body) cannabinoid system to pass signals around between different parts of itself in order to regulate a bunch of stuff. when you smoke, your brain is flooded with imitator chemicals and the complex system of signals is jammed, the receptors flooded by both internal and external cannabinoids. like if you were listening to a radio and then I stood next to the radio with a jamming device so all you heard is static.
Jonathan Ward
The consequences are that the human stops 'thinking' on those 'frequencies' and just wants to self-administer cannabinoids over and over again for years and years.
ok but what are the actual concrete consequences of this "jamming" What kind of behavioral changes does it result in, and how does the "signal jam" lead to those behavioral consequences?
Evan Reed
ok but what does the endocannabinoid system actually do? You are being very vague
Julian Hill
that metaphor is full of shit, those cycles are self healing and only people who smoke large amounts of weed daily will experience issues with this
Anthony Clark
2 Functions of the endocannabinoid system 2.1 Memory 2.1.1 Role in hippocampal neurogenesis 2.1.2 Induction of synaptic depression 2.2 Appetite 2.3 Energy balance and metabolism 2.4 Stress response 2.4.1 Exploration, social behavior, and anxiety 2.5 Immune function 2.5.1 Multiple sclerosis 2.6 Female reproduction 2.7 Autonomic nervous system 2.8 Analgesia 2.9 Thermoregulation 2.10 Sleep A big one imo is stress response. In the beginning weed will help people with anxiety, but if they abuse it, it will end up contributing to super-anxiety

Something that don't use samples of few people or kids, don't use words like 'may, maybe, inconclusive' and are not posted on goverment site since Jews have great interest in keeping it illegal. You were btfo'd in that stupid amounts f threads you made before and still desperately cling to your shit, just don't smoke then. If you make it legal you make it more comfortable for me, if you make it illegal then I make free money. I always win, baby.
Lincoln Thomas
OH THAT EXPLAINS IT! youre a retard with no common sense or self control so you smoked yourself retarded. probably held it in for 20 seconds after each hit. no wonder the irish anti-weed aspie hates it so much.
have fun with the brain damage goyim!
Jayden Rivera
The studies with small sample sizes showed insignificant differences between controls, the studies with large sample sizes showed significant differences.
You can't just take the most inconclusive study in a meta analysis and say it represents the entire thing. Especially considering those inconclusive studies had results indicating YOU'RE right about this, not me.

And yet weed still reduces brain volume. Funny how my specific life circumstances have nothing to do with it, isnt it?
Zachary King
Recent studies have BTFO the "only heavy users" narrative, which was a sampling artefact of most prior studies only looking at such users. Smoking once a week is sufficient to cause structural change to the amygdala etc, just not as much as in a heavier user.
I still smoke "occasionally" anyway, but only due to a stoner friend. I should probably quit it entirely.

HOL UP. ALL YOU NIGGERS WAIT WHILE A GUY WHO ACTUALLY TOOK A GODDAMN COLLEGE LEVEL INTRO TO NEUROSCIENCE CLASS EXPLAINS.
YALLZ BRAIN CELLS USUALLY SEND SIGNALS ONE WAY WHEN NEUROTRANSMITTERS GET RELEASED FROM ONE CELL TO THE NEXT.
SOMETIMES THOSE NEUROTRANSMITTERS TELL THE NEXT CELL TO RAISE ITS FUCKING CALICUM LEVELS INSIDE. WE HAVE NO FUCKING CLUE WHAT SPECIFICALLY HAPPENS NEXT, BUT THAT CELL MAKES A BUNCH OF ENDOGENOUS CANNABINOIDS, WHICH ARE LIKE OIL AND CAN PASS THROUGH CELL MEMBRANES REALLY FUCKING EASILY. THOSE NEW MOLECULES GO BACKWARDS TO THE PREVIOUS NEURON AND MAKE IT DO A BUNCH OF SHIT.

Aiden Thomas
Don't really care. I function at least 100x better than the sober fuckwits that surround me in my life. I'm impatient and quick to anger so I wouldn't get anything done without weed and I'd probably give myself a stroke if I tried to quit because there are too many sources of rage in my life.

SO NOW WEED HAS THC AND SHIT THAT ACTIVATES ALL THOSE FUCKIN RECEPTORS THAT ENDOGENOUS CANNABINOIDS ARE SUPPOSED TO WORK ON.
SO IT TURNS OUT THAT THOSE RECEPTORS DO A BUNCH OF SUBTLE SHIT LIKE MAKE MORE NEURONS, IMPROVE MEMORY, MAKE YOU FORGET IRRELEVANT BULLSHIT, KNOW WHEN TO EAT, INCREASE ATTENTION IN NEW SITUATIONS, RELAX WHEN IT'S ALL GOOD, REGULATION OF PAIN, REGULATION OF IMMUNE SYSTEM, AND A WHOLE FUCKLOAD OF STUFF THAT SMOKING WEED FUCKS WITH.
GOOD NEWS IS THAT MOST OF THAT SHIT GETS IMPROVED WITH THC, BUT WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU GO OFF IT AND YOUR BRAIN HAS TO COMPENSATE, OR WHEN YOUR BRAIN IS DEVELOPING AND GETS A WHOLE FUCKLOAD OF NEURON REMODELING.
Chase Bailey
It almost is but its not, because its weed and weed is harmless. Why dont you find something significant to obsess over, like a fucking career or something.

>endogenous signaling can't penetrate
That's the point you pseud. If endogenous signaling *could* override the exogenous chemical you're taking in then there would be no point in taking that chemical. Also:
>evolved to >implying evolution has directed purpose
Austin Adams
>THOSE NEW MOLECULES GO BACKWARDS TO THE PREVIOUS NEURON AND MAKE IT DO A BUNCH OF SHIT OK, so what shit is that? Does it matter? Do things still work correctly when shit isn't going backwards? Sounds like a protocol but my experience tells me that it's an unnecessary or even outdated one.
