    Marijuana's Effect on Neurotransmitters

    What effect does Marijuana have on the brain's neurotransmitters while high and with frequent use?

    Neurotransmitters like:
    1. Acetylcholine â?? involved in voluntary movement, learning, memory, and sleep
    2. Dopamine â?? correlated with movement, attention, and learning
    3. Norepinephrine â?? associated with eating, alertness
    4. Epinephrine â?? involved in energy, and glucose metabolism
    5. Serotonin â?? plays a role in mood, sleep, appetite, and impulsive and aggressive behavior
    6. GABA â?? (Gamma-Amino Butyric Acid) â?? inhibits excitation and anxiety


    But I'm mainly interested in the effect on Dopamine and Serotonin.
    Any insight would be greatly appreciated and would help ease my curiosity.

    I read somewhere that 15 minutes after being smoked melatonin levels can raise up to 5000 percent.
