Brain creates its own marijuana-like chemicals, scientists find

Will brains become illegal ????

Quote:

SAN JOSE, Calif. - (KRT) - Mother Nature created a way to "tune in, turn on" long before pot-smokers rolled their first joint, Stanford scientists have found.

Eavesdropping on the conversations between brain cells, the research team found that neurons make their own marijuana-like chemicals called cannabinoids, which indirectly alter the way that information is received and filtered.

When the chemicals are released, "neurons have a harder time deciding which are the relevant things to pay attention to," said investigator John R. Huguenard, associate professor of neurology and neurologic sciences at Stanford University School of Medicine.

For a long time, scientists thought that marijuana altered the mind in a messy and random way that didn't involve any particular part of brain chemistry.

Now they've identified an elegant modus operandi. It adds to a growing body of research that explains the mechanism behind getting "high." Marijuana mimics the cannabinoids made naturally by our brain - chemicals that influence a smorgasbord of body functions including movement, thought and perception.

Does that mean we can get busted for thinking too much!!!
Not that I have anything to worry about, mind you :1orglaugh

Aww, come on... aren't they going to tell us how to get our brain to produce more cannabinoids?

The war on drugs is a joke

Well hes using it for the wrong reasons, as the guy you quoted. :winkwink:

Patients who reported their experience with marijuana at the public workshops said that marijuana provided them with great relief from symptoms associated with disparate diseases and ailments, including AIDS wasting, spasticity from multiple sclerosis, depression, chronic pain, and nausea associated with chemotherapy.

The variety of stories presented left the study team with a clear view of people's beliefs about how marijuana had helped them
