I have just been speaking to a friend who is undergoing treatment for depression and he told me that his doctor found out that he was smoking because of some Electroencefalogram (EEG) results in which some funny waves showed up. He was told to quit smoking, else he would never be cured. My friend feels A-OK at this point and is near the end of the treatment he is currently following. The doctor said that smoking weed was bad for him due to the fact that it alters dopamine levels in the brain, brings them down is what I think he said.

I did a web search and looked at a few books, but I can't find anything on the topic. Can anyone shed some light on the topic?
