it struck me today. the arguement that smoking makes you dumb...
there are 2 hemispheres in your brain. the left is mainly used for academics such as math and science. the left is more creative. prehaps marijuana changes the precentage of hemispheral usage in the left, but increases it in the right. much like the way someone who is a lefty uses the right more than the left. thoughs?
whats in a wonder ball! (I dont know if any of you remember those)
Thats an interesting theory. people who smoke tend to be more creative, but that could be because creative people are more likely to enjoy smoking, or be more open to the idea of smoking. Correlation is not causation
i doubt the brain is seperated like that
Cannabis activates the cannabinoid receptors in your brain, which are located in the limbic system. When the cannabinoid receptors are agonized (or antagonized, depending) specific neural pathways in the brain are changed. The cannabinoid receptors have a greater impact on the right hemisphere of the brain, which is why there is an increase in creativity.Quote:

They say that, but i've NEVER tripped on weed. Shrooms and acid are a different story.Quote:

Personally, I would agree that there should be a sub-category in hallucinogen to better describe cannabis, as its affects are mild and unique.
That's very true, it's hard to categorise it.Quote:
