According to drug enforcement - no vested interest there, right? - and contrary to several other studies.
Thank you for digging that up. WHenever I look I have to wade hip deep through the distorted “studies” bought and paid for by the massive pot lobby. But when I post stuff like that, the pot heads flat out don’t care. Pot’s negative effects on motivation, memory and learning are well documented but pot heads don’t care. They change the subject and go on their merry ways. Marijuana must flatline empathy as it creates emotional dependence; that must be it.
Wow! I’m RIGHT! Pot shrinks the part of the brain that handles empathy!
“The scans revealed that smoking cannabis every day was associated with shrinkage in the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) region of the brain, which is involved in mental processing and decision making.
It also influences responses to rewards and adversity, and is strongly linked to empathy – the ability to sense other people’s feelings.
Neuroscientists believe damage to the orbitofrontal cortex may underpin some forms of psychopathy.”
That explains why the pro pot lobby just doesn’t care about anything but getting access to it.
