cannibinoids promote brain growth

Is This is a taste of the caliber of people here?:

"dont be so simple and ignorant, you dumb ****"

That was left in my inbox. How about locking that person out of the forum? People get locked out for a whole lot less.

Hey Bleep, I agree! and it wasn't me just to let you know!

Nah, you're just a little paranoid...

Cannabis promotes paranoia and depression.

But one gotta stay away from the crack pipe.

According to The True Life Story of a CIA Mind Control Slave by Cathy O'Brien - Trance Formation of America, I remeber that of the many drugs she was allowed to take - marijuana was a big NO NO. It apparently affected her mind control programming.

Also in The Illuminati Formula Used to Create
an Undetectable Total Mind Controlled Slave
by Cisco Wheeler and Fritz Springmeier - they listed multiple drugs that were used specifically to encourage mind control - except marijuana. I've always wondered about that.

Incidently - my husband smoked for years and always claimed he never dreamed. Now - he's quit smoking completely and now mentions a lot of weird far out dreams!

Cannabinoids promote embryonic and adult hippocampus neurogenesis and produce anxiolytic- and antidepressant-like effects.
J Clin Invest. 2005 Nov;115(11):3104-16. Epub 2005 Oct 13.

From the Abstract: The hippocampal dentate gyrus in the adult mammalian brain contains neural stem/progenitor cells (NS/PCs) capable of generating new neurons, i.e., neurogenesis. Most drugs of abuse examined to date decrease adult hippocampal neurogenesis, but the effects of cannabis (marijuana or cannabinoids) on hippocampal neurogenesis remain unknown. This study aimed at investigating the potential regulatory capacity of the potent synthetic cannabinoid HU210 on hippocampal neurogenesis and its possible correlation with behavioral change. We show that both embryonic and adult rat hippocampal NS/PCs are immunoreactive for CB1 cannabinoid receptors, indicating that cannabinoids could act on CB1 receptors to regulate neurogenesis. This hypothesis is supported by further findings that HU210 promotes proliferation, but not differentiation, of cultured embryonic hippocampal NS/PCs likely via a sequential activation of CB1 receptors, G(i/o) proteins, and ERK signaling. Chronic, but not acute, HU210 treatment promoted neurogenesis in the hippocampal dentate gyrus of adult rats and exerted anxiolytic- and antidepressant-like effects. X-irradiation of the hippocampus blocked both the neurogenic and behavioral effects of chronic HU210 treatment, suggesting that chronic HU210 treatment produces anxiolytic- and antidepressant-like effects likely via promotion of hippocampal neurogenesis.

In The Neuroscientist vol 13, no. 2, 109-114 (2007)
"The Endocannabinoid System and Neurogenesis in Health and Disease"

From the abstract: The endocannabinoid system exerts an important neuromodulatory function in different brain areas and is also known to be involved in the regulation of neural cell fate. Thus, CB1 cannabinoid receptors are neuroprotective in different models of brain injury, and their expression is altered in various neurodegenerative diseases. Recent findings have demonstrated the presence of a functional endocannabinoid system in neural progenitor cells that participates in the regulation of cell proliferation and differentiation. In this Research Update, the authors address the experimental evidence regarding the regulatory role of cannabinoids in neurogenesis and analyze them in the context of those pathological disorders in which cannabinoid function and altered neuronal or glial generation is most relevant, for example, stroke and multiple sclerosis.

My sister forwarded this to me. Amazing stuff. And, as a healthcare worker and daughter of a man who suffered from cancer at the expense of his country (who smoked near the end of his physical life to ease his pain), i am aware of the medicinal affects.

I smoked marijuana every day for about 5 years. Based on what I have experienced, the effects of cannabis on the mind are dependent upon the state of mind at the time. It's like a magnification of how your mind is currently 'wired' or operating. If I feel like a creative genius at the time of smoking, I feel like more of a creative genius after smoking - my mind is steady and peaceful. If I'm in a dull, worrysome, stressful, or isolated state of mind at the time of smoking, my mind will constantly move around in all the wrong directions, thus draining my energy.
Recently, I have only been smoking only once or twice a month. I have not noticed a significant difference in memory recall or the overall function of the mind to 'think'. The only major difference I notice between smoking a lot and smoking a little is the ability to live and think "in the now", which is easier to do while stoned (for me).

Another major contributor to the effect marijuana has on the mind is the environment. I pay a good amount of attention to the ever-changing energy of my current place of being. After smoking marijuana, I've noticed I am more sensitive to the energy or feelings given off by the people around me. During periods of a positive mindset, I am affected on a lesser level. When stressed or worrisome, the energy given off by emotions and feelings have a more significant affect (in rare cases an uncontrollable effect) on me and I can be annoyed or irritated easily.

Overall, my opinion (based on experience) is that marijuana only affects the mind in ways that it is allowed to (or how you let it). Marijuana effects all people in different ways, which is one of the reasons I believe it magnifies or manipulates one's current state of mind, one's personality, or one's thought-process.


Peace. Love.

I would make another question for anyone smoker, Did anyone realize of loosing to remember the dreams? I've been smoker since 10 years before and in 5 years before I noticed not able to remember my dreams... Anyone in the same situation?

As I regular smoker (approx. 10 years) - I totally agree on this -

I'm the exact opposite. I've been a daily user of marijuana for over 10 years now, and I have dreams that are so realistic and vivid, it's as if I'm actually living it as it happens... I'm also able to fully recall these dreams afterwords.

Seriously I don't belive it's eithen a case of not remembering them while smokeing You simplely dream very very little maybe once a month.

85% of the reason I started to smoke and still do is due to "nightmares" when I sleep while completely off it on a regular base's. However on it now I dream very very little though I do still get them just not very often though when I get them I know I recived them =/

Very interesting. I could not for the life of me remember dreams when I was a heavy smoker. I knew I was having dreams but I could not remember any of them. When I started sleeping with orgonite and surrounded myself with orgone or chi energy, that's when all my dreams kicked into high gear.
It was nice that I didn't have to quit smoking weed to remember my dreams. Now that I have quit, I seem to remember my dreams a little better even without orgonite nearby.
It is odd that marijuana hinders ones ability to consciously remember their dreams. i would love to hear exactly how that works. I need some sort of a David Wilcock explanation or something

I must note that for the past month or so, I have been experiencing what I call a series of "good weeks".

I have chronic depression and I have never taken anti-depressants. However, I have tried to cut back on junk food and limit my consumption of alcohol. I enjoy blueberries and chocolate of course but I do not over-induldge on either.

I have smoked marijuana in the past and if I tend to smoke more than usual, I go into what I consider to be deep trances where time becomes slower and my mind seems to reach heights that aren't possible without the chemical enhancement. Of course, this is called hallucinating.

Just wanted to point this out. I think that I've stumbled upon neurogenesis by accident by the way of my diet, etc. My depression isn't as severe as it was a few months ago. I still slip back into depression but it doesn't last for long and I seem to rebound quicker. I believe that this depression is hereditary as my brother and father are both on anti-depressants.

YES!

Whenever I DON'T smoke I have tons of vivid dreams.

Without the insights triggered by MJ i would not be here. A useful tool if used wisely

[Squeptikal]

What insights are provided by inebriation? Doesn't the smoking numb your senses instead of augment them?

It does and it doesn't. . . so many variables exist when talking about MJ effects on the user. It wouldnt be fair to destroy its image when we dont yet know all the benefits, and there are Many as others have shown here.

I think we need to take into account that with so many factors such as chemistry of the user, amount absorbed the the body, frequency of using MJ, not to mention the huge diversity of types of MJ and the various effects different "strains" can have on different people. With various effects on people we cannot simply say that it dumbs you or raises you.

At the end of the day we all know that Over indulging in most things will lead to a detrimental effect at some point in the future. Unfortunately via negative propaganda about MJ over the years has set back scientists on working with the substance to re-educate people about the 100's of beneficial applications for the herb. Granted, absorption of MJ by smoking will damage lungs and over indulgence leads to tollerance build up. these negative effects all MJ smokers will know of, which sensibly we should listen to (as hard as that maybe, and yes i know from experience).

Its always good to have discussions about subjects most people find taboo ( the reason we're all here on the forums no less )

Good reading guys

Cannabis augmentates our gain antenna and open new doors and windows to imagination.
I couldnt remember my dreams in my smoke years also. And my mind and intuition say to me that i dont need to smoke nowadays.
As a more open wide antenna it may be good or bad depending each person either they are positive based or negative based but most of all can be a usefull tool to think diferent wich isnt a bad thing in a hipnotic world of inconciousness repetitions.
I finded smokes good to play musical instruments for many years i called a better inspiration, nowadays i say diferent inspiration.
Cannabis its a lot better than some manufactured smoke stuff we buy in legal stores that seems to be negative based or was only me far from cure back to time i smoked that weird stuff.

Shows how different we react, I can in no way play music when stoned (5-6 times a year) I absolutely do not understand how it can be done. There is a difference in being a user or an Abuser. I function better now that i use it occasionally, than when it was every day. But thats just me. Drinking however is another story, i f I get drunk (only 3-4 beers) I am very sick (not hungover) but very sick for at least 3 days!! One glass of wine/whisky/vidka you name it, will give me an extreme headache and cause vomiting after 6-8 hours. MJ however, leaves me with no after effects whatsoever. It is individual and something I fortunately dont have to do on a regular basis.

peace

It has also been proven to help with glaucoma, a condition of increased pressure within the eyeball, causing gradual loss of sight.

Moderation is the key, taken at night to help depression, or just to unwind after a hard days work, does wonders.

Note: most people that I know that have indulged moderately for over 20 years do not wear eye glasses. Hmmmm, I wonder.

Has anyone else noticed this?

And yes, I do not wear glasses. The only time I needed them to read fine print was for both my pregancy's, as there was no smoking then of course.

love & peace

Quite funny to see alcohol in moderate consumption promotes cell growth too hahaha i always thought it was the opposite.

Yes, Cannabis has the ability to let one think for oneself, and recognize BS when presented with it.

Thats one main reason it is illegal, it really puts a damper on their little games.

that, and because they cannot capitalize on it.

The future is growing in our own back yards.
