When they are losing an argument and debunk themselves

Do you think THC does not affect dopamine?

"It has no effect on the brains chemestry" Immediately says, "effects mood" Fucking moron. Anything that raises the mood has a direct or indirect effect on dopamine and seratonin

it doesnt directly affect your dopamine, no

it doesn't act on dopamine recepters like opiates do

But it raises mood in turn raising dopamine fucking moron pothead

if you actually took time to research any of this before you started spurting off baseless claims faster than I could read...

This is why you dont smoke weed kids

stunts your mental capabilities

But even pro weed blogs are agreeing with the dopamine claim

And hes silent. Fucking moron. Dont smoke weed kids

There is now a substantial body of evidence in animals showing that THC exerts effects on the dopamine system. The key challenges for the field must be to understand the complexity of these effects, how these translate to humans and relate to the potential negative effects of the drug in humans (Box 2). Animal studies demonstrate that acute administration of THC causes region-specific increases in dopamine release and nerve activity and we must understand the functional significance of this. The available preclinical evidence suggests that chronic THC administration causes long-term changes on the dopamine system, but a general limitation of these models is that they do not reflect typical patterns of human use. Thus future studies should be of longer duration to reflect human use. This should also include co-administration with other drugs such as nicotine and alcohol that are commonly used with cannabis. Related to this is a need to understand how the dopaminergic effects of THC are moderated by the other phytocannabinoids. Human PET studies have demonstrated blunted dopamine synthesis and dopamine release in cannabis users relative to non-users, yet we still need to understand the precise mechanisms through which this occurs.

I think you may have a bit of a bias in favor of your habits

Given changing patterns in cannabis use across the world, particularly in young people, and the consumption of cannabis with higher THC content, there is clearly a pressing need to understand how THC alters dopaminergic function. This is especially important given the emerging evidence that dopaminergic alterations are linked to a number of the adverse cognitive and behavioural consequences of THC, and the lack of current effective biological interventions for many of the psychiatric sequelae of cannabis use. Dopaminergic dysfunction may thus represent an area for future treatment targets.

yes im reading ther article you don't need to paste in random segments that fit your argument

My only claim was that it has an effect

Indirect lr Direct it has an effect otherwise there would be zero effect on mood

Never try to convince a pothead that weed is anything less then gods right nut.

You'll never win

Basically

THC activates an endocannibanoid which stimulates your bodies natural release of dopamine, this is in contrast to other drugs which override the bodies natural dopamine entirely

i never said dopamine and THC were unrelated

But this is not about other more dangerous drugs

Is 3D printing Lego, considered pirating?

*"Stimulate more release of dopamine"*

I just think it is a bit reckless to claim how harmless it is before we really know the longterm effects of these new high THC strands

I love still having a use for this.

when did I ever claim weed was harmless? why do you seem to be debating a strawman rather than me?

@Deleted User Yeah, considering this is a newly discovered thing...

Im not saying you are but the whataboutism on other worse drugs does not take away the danger from weed

I mean. Ive smoked pot and ive craved pot afterwards. I think anything that feels or tastes good can be argued as being addictive

And before you say anything

i also do not like alcohol

but i do not want to ban these substances

i really dont know why i bother responding to you considering you clearly have no intention of having an actual dialogue and instead seem to be doing this just to be confrontational

<:what:382980756139409409>

I just think people should be upfront and honest about the danger involved or lack of data on long term effects

what are you even arguing for? you're just attacking weed because you know it will piss me off. Congrats, you did it.
