Marijuana and Signal Reception

The dried leaves drug known as marijuana/cannabis still has no true natural purpose. It does, however, have the potential to be a medicine. Marijuana is frequently beneficial to the treatment of AIDS, cancer, glaucoma, multiple sclerosis, and chronic pain. Our bodies have two cannabinoid receptors (one in the brain and one in the immune system) which are responsible for the usage of THC within our bodies, meaning we were made to process it. There are two strains of ganja; Indica or Sativa. Although there are many types of weed, the effects don’t really vary that much. There’s the kind that relaxes your mind, the kind that relaxes your body, or the kind that does both. The only really big difference in weed, besides the strains, is the amount it would take to get you high. For example you can buy hydro and exotic, and the exotic will get you high off one puff/blow/bong hit, whereas hydro would take 2, but the high will still be the same.
Pot acts on the central nervous system by binding itself to brain's neurons and interfering with normal communication between the neurons. These nerves respond by changing their initial behavior. The plant contains 400 chemicals and 60 of them are cannabinoids, which are psychoactive compounds that are produced inside the body after cannabis is metabolized or is extorted from the cannabis plant. Cannabinoids is an active ingredient of marijuana. The most psychoactive cannabinoids chemical in marijuana that has the biggest impact on the brain is tetrahydrocannibol, or THC. THC is the main active ingredient in marijuana because it affects the brain by attaching to and turning on specific receptors, known as the cannabinoid receptors. These receptors control memory, thought, concentration, time and depth, and coordinated movement. Some of these affects are personality disturbances, depression and chronic anxiety. Psychiatrists who treat schizophrenic patients advise them to not use this drug because marijuana can trigger severe mental disturbances and cause a relapse. When one's memory is affected by high dose of marijuana, short-term memory is the first to be triggered. Weed’s damage to short-term memory happens because THC alters the way in which information is processed by the hippocampus, a brain area responsible for memory formation. When someone has smoked a large amount of reefer, new information does not register into their brain and this may be lost from memory and they are not able to retrieve new information for more than a few minutes.
