Is smoking weed really that bad for you?

[Anonymous No.10631177]

Yeah, the cocaina is better.

Yes

>Patients with schizophrenia are more prone to substance abuse than the general population [4]. Among them, 25% have a lifetime prevalence of cannabis abuse/dependence, the most widely used illicit psychoactive substance
>In regular users, cannabis induces euphoria, perceptual illusions, tachycardia, analgesia, memory and concentration alterations, and other cognitive deficits.

>A number of studies suggest a dysregulation of the endogenous cannabinoid system in schizophrenia (SCZ).

>In the present study, we investigate (using Voxel-based Morphometry) gray matter changes in a group of regular cannabis smokers in comparison with a group of occasional smokers matched by the years of cannabis use. We provide evidence that regular cannabis use is associated with gray matter volume reduction in the medial temporal cortex, temporal pole, parahippocampal gyrus, insula, and orbitofrontal cortex

>There is now reasonable evidence from longitudinal studies that regular cannabis use predicts an increased risk of schizophrenia and of reporting psychotic symptoms.

>A NIDA-funded brain imaging study has shown that regular users of marijuana have less gray matter than nonusers of the drug in the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC), a brain region that contributes to impulse control, decision-making, and learning. Such a deficit could make it more difficult to change counterproductive behaviors, including drug use.

No. But weed culture is the worst and people that like smoking weed are generally totally shit

Anon, hate to break it to you but that's for tobacco, not weed.

>"The regular marijuana users’ OFCs also exhibited more functional and structural connectivity than those of nonusers"
>not sacrificing gray matter for a brain boost
