(AG2) natural compounds. THC is an anandamide agonist. -"relax, eat, sleap, forget and protect" -vital for childbirth!

-wipes out emotional (memory) of pain (long term) -to protect neurons around the brain against toxic objects.

Increased appetite; dry mouth; hypothermia; lowered blood sugar? -focus on present, momory impairment -increased heart rate, prior to tolerance-anxiety esp. at 1st use. -slowed motor responses- cautious driver, slow reactions (accidents 2x more likely w/ pot, 6x for alcohol) -impulsive, sensaiton seeking males most likely. -has lil or no impact on complex task skills.

-decreases speed of reflexes -lowers motivation for complex tasks, violence   -lil impact on repetitive tasks -sedation originates in limbic system which controls motivation (flattened affect?) -correlates with early use of gateway drugs, social-psychologiccal dysfunction

-balances biochemistry of bran and nervous, immune and reproductive systems -limited immuno suppression, anti oxidant -kills many types of cancer cells -if you smoke pot and cigs you will most likely get cardio obstructive pulminary disease when older because the combination is lethal for the lungs

-linked to lung, head and neck cancers -respiratory problems, COPD -lung damage; 1 joint=3-5 cigs -method of smoking   -clean out lungs cuz coughing up shit?   -counteracted by periods without use? -ability to fight infection goes down but immunity to inflamitory disease goes up
