Legal marijuana - good or bad? Any personal experience?

That is an interesting read. There seems to be a fair amount of debate about dopamine release. Even within this article they show mixed results with dopamine release from THC on humans. One of the human studies showed dopamine release in one of the studies but another one did not show any. Although I didnt see them mention how large of a dopamine release happened in the study with humans. My guess is it is very small.

I do agree we should research this drugs effects a lot more, along with many others, especially if they alter brain chemistry.

Agreed. I don't toke but am not against it but I think I've been wrong about the effects. It seems obvious that anything that alters your mood will have other chemical changes. We might not know of other pathway changes yet.

Legalize it already so we can study it. Knowledge is rarely bad in the long term.
