What are the effects of marijuana on hormones (and testosterone), neurotransmitters, and sleep? And does it promote excess estrogen levels in men? I have noticed biochemical symptom issues with excessive dopamine levels, such as increased anxiety and shaking issues to with MJ use. I think you should also address enzyme genetic variations, types, and what pathways may be affected , due to the symptoms people express. Granted, most people here may not comprehend this information without doing their own genetic testing, so they can get a better outlook on their own body's biochemistry and demands. Thanks for the advice!
Only evening smoker here for about 10 years (few hours before bed about 6 hits) perfect to unwine the day and sleep like a baby. Sativa is making me sleepy (while others become more energetic) and Indicatie makes me more active (while others relax) Everyone is different I guessš
My use of Marijauna started as a recreational drug,but now I am self medicating because of our inept medical care in Northern British Columbia. I think I have one or more tumours in my brain.They say I have nothing wrong,but I know this is not true.If its not a tumour then its MS.I get crunching in my neck area real bad.I have head pain all the time.I dont want to keep on smoking but find the medical problem.I have had this problem for about 8 to 9 years. My frustration is beyond belief,no real family support at all.I get sick when I stop smoking
For whatever reason in my case it's the Indica varieties that are likely to cause more paranoia and the percentage of CBD makes a huge difference with a combination of pure Sativa and a CBD isolate getting me to my sweet spot. Marijuana in moderation helps me transition from being exhausted from work to finding my creative second wind to create art or play music.
Numerous studies have shown us, unequivocally, that cannabis use presents far less health risks than both alcohol and tobacco, and he almost went out of his way to NOT acknowledge that. When people of influence do this, it harms public health.
Sheesh, its simple. Weed, mushrooms, alcohol, etc all poison the body, brain and strain the mind (hence the odd depressive, paranoid, forgetful, lazy efffects).
It's a super food, a prevention of sickness when consumed raw. Live much much longer less sickness that's why its illegal. Not cause you can get high cause a person can buy 190 prof alcohol
I have tried A LOT of different Strains of Marijuana over the years and I have gotten all of the above if you will. Some of them made me relax others made me sleepy. Then you have stimulated, paranoid, euphoric you name it. Your state of mind at the time of consumption will also influence it. However I have for example rarely felt stimulated by high THC Indica its usually sleepy or relaxed.
I suffer crippling anxiety and depression. Faulty circadian gene. Nothing helps better than cannabis, however, im smoking too much. Trying to stop, and tips ?
I suffer from ADHD and PTSD and i am very sensitive to THC and the Dosage of Cannabis, especialy THC heavy Strains, makes the Difference. If i dose it low, i can relax or Focus, dependent on the Strain, if i smoke to much i get anxious and Paranoid.
Regarding the paranoid and anxiety feelings from marijuana that some people are affected by, I find that if I self medicate before I have caffeine, I do not have the same level of paranoia that I do when I have caffeine first and then self medicate after. I do have a caffeine sensitivity, so I normally use caffeine free products, but that can also have just enough caffeine in it to cause me to be paranoid if taken before I self medicate with cannabis. I have also noticed that when I have to self medicate, the reason that I am self-medicating is mental issues, the cannabis will subdue or get rid of completely the PTSD thoughts or bipolar thoughts that are sometimes uncontrollable. My entire perspective has just done a complete 180 thanks to the medicating effects of cannabis.
Hopefully today is my last day of friendship with cannabis (my only bad habit other than sweets). I want to finally wake up and start doing something, to live the way I want to live, not to get high on weed in the evening with friends, and before going to sleep to jerk off and fall into the abyss, and tomorrow to repeat the same :)))) Thank you for your interesting and informative videos. You describe the effects of marijuana sativa in a very detailed and accurate way, about talking (when usually I am silent Bob), about sharing some interesting information, as if you read my mind :))).
Amazing video really good explanation! I was just browsing videos about Neurobiology and have to say it's really fascinating how different the substance affects individuals.

What studies support these claims about "sativa vs indica varieties"? They seem like cannabis bro-science.
Qwack.
this guy is hotš
U crave fatty food on it cuz it's fat soluble and it's a part of how the body is trying to break it down.

Guy used 483 big words and said nothing. Perfect example of book smart / donāt know anything

Very simple = it's ideal not to ingest any drug
What cannabis does for one it does differently for another. It's gods gift gen129

Most cannabis about now is a mix of Sativa and indica
I love cannabis š
Definitely increases focus and well feeling
ā¤ amazing video and very thorough just put it all in perspective for me thanks
You should be fine as long as you're an adult and if you don't use other drugs.
Antinocciception is also caused by the allosteric modulation of mu, and delta opioid receptor
it made me so lazy. And unmotivated
