Cannabis users are more likely to experience negative emotions, particularly feeling alienated from others, new research reveals. People who use marijuana are significantly more likely to feel that others wish them harm or are deceiving them, a US study found. Brain scans also reveal the class-B drug increases signal connectivity in regions of the brain that have previously been linked to psychosis, the research adds, which is associated with severe depression.

Your age is showing.
Heya, Marvin. Life is good here. Hope the same for you.
Hey dude, where’s my other shoe?
Because they’re out to get you of course.
That’s what happens when you smile so much weed your mind can’t keep up with the unimpaired around you.
But really, people turn to pot as an escape from the problems and many people are walking piles of problems sometimes. Some are definitely born with mental impairments.
Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you’re always afraid
You step out of line, the man come and take you away…
One pot-smoking relative of mine suffered from extreme paranoia and depression, and committed suicide.
Another, from delusions and paranoia, and has withdrawn from nearly every social relationship, including close family.
But I wonder if mentally ill and troubled people who seek out marijuana are attempting self-medication and get harmful effects that outweigh the beneficial - there are dozens of psychoactive substances in cannabis - THC seems to cause the high and also anxiety and psychosis, CBD to cause the mellowness and calm.
I agree
More likely they will just stare at their fishtank til they make the 2AM run to Dublin Donuts. :-)
GREAT NEWS!
Researchers have isolated the component in pot that makes people paranoid and uneasy.
They have also identified the component in pot that makes people relaxed. It is called Linalool, and it is the same thing in lavender that makes people relaxed.
THC is overrated. There is a plethora of other components in pot that provides a lot of value.
I get horrible leg cramps at night. My doc put me on a med prescribed for MS patients, and then kept upping the dose.
It was a nasty drug.
Luckily, researchers have isolated the components in pot that have anti seizure and anti spasmodic properties. I use pot low in THC but high in those properties.
This plant is literally a godsend. I thank God for this plant that allows me to function normally in this world.
Not my job to keep up with your shoes, Marvin.
There is something in the Bible that makes me think it was used. Do you or anyone have any bought some on that?
Thoughts on that?
Love your page, fellow Texan!
hmmmmm......
I thought pot was going to solve all these problems....
