Does weed do this too?

I was just watching this discovery channel show about the brain. One part of the show described to you with visuals what cocaine does to the brain.....How it replaces the dopamines in your brain and then makes it so you do not get any dopamines untill you receive the cocaine again. They said that when sober...addicts will no longer find things that used to bring them enjoyment and happyness, bring them enjoyment and happyness anymore. The only way they can enjoy things is only from taking a hit of cocaine.

Do you guys think weed could possibly do this to you as well?

nope, weed is pscologically addictive, not physically addictive!

[infidel818]

this has nothing to do with physically addictive.....this is all about your brain...
i hope your being sarcastic...

What im sayin is....Can weed prevent your brain from feeling as much joy as it once did?

weed deals with cannabinoid receptors so i doubt it.

I don't think so, but that is absolutely true of cocain. If fucks with your pleasure sensors, or something? I don't think it's permanent, though. I used cocain heavily for several years, and I do find pleasure in things still. It just wasn't there in the beginning after I quit using.

Marijuana has never effected me in that manner, so I don't think this is true of the herb, man!

What is interesting about cannabis is that your body produces it's own cannibanoids naturally. So what you are actually doing is adding more of what already naturally occurs in your body. Unlike substances like cocaine that merely react with your body to produce a seperate chemical. This is a basic argument for the use of cannabis as a medicine as their are cannibanoid receptors throughout your entire body. If only there were large scale medical research studies into the benefits of cannabis.

i actually heard this somewhere, weed is like a key and a part of your brain is the keyhole.
