Smoking cannabis can induce psychosis-like effects, similar to the symptoms people diagnosed with schizophrenia endure, scientists have said.
While past research as come this this conclusion in the past, the mechanisms underlying these effects are less clear.
Now, a team of scientists at Yale School of Medicine have found the active ingredient in marijuana, delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (delta-9-THC) increases random neural activity, known as neural noise, in the brains of healthy drug-users.

It’s no wonder the bigot in our White House seems completely and totally psychotic, given his drug-addled history.
"I did dope then. I was wandering through Newark airport, 'where is gate 56?', seeing Aztec temples and ****..."
And hollyweird liberals.
Yes there is a reason why they call it getting effed up. :-)
Not a fan but I would get it for my 82 year old M in L who’s is suffering debilitating effects from Chemo.
Knew a lady that was doing chemo. Husband was a cop. Son and daughter in law smoked, unbeknownst to her, and she refused to even consider the filthy hippie drug. But she had no problem going to restaurants and spewing her dinner due to the nausea of chemo.
My m in L cannot get out of bed, drink water, or even contemplate a night out.
One of the effects of smoking marijuana is that it renders the user incapable of objectively assessing his own health.
The same with drinking.
No one really drinks for the just the taste.
And you think the U.S. media is true and accurate? LOL!!!
Actually, the Daily Mail is much more even-handed and fair at reporting OUR news than our home-grown media.
He probably just ate the brownies...
Either way, it does not duplicate the full mixture of compounds found in the smoke, it only isolates one active ingredient.
That seems flawed to me.
A friend on chemo pointed out that the pills they gave him (THC) did not have the same effect on his appetite as the weed, and that in his opinion the weed was not only more effective, it was cheaper, too.
“cheaper too” - Bingo!
Big Pharma sure is wagging the dog on this one. What a bloody racket. Smoke ‘em if you got ‘em!
