Psychoactive Nature Of Cannabis: Why Questions Are More Interesting Hight
Have you ever wondered what causes your thoughts to behave so differently on cannabis? Are these high thoughts real? Don’t worry; you’re not the only one who thinks on a different tangent when high. From creative thoughts to how we react to humor, something really changes in our thought-making processes once we partake in the green goodness.
So what happens inside the brain when cannabis is introduced? Well, a lot.
And does this influence how thoughts operate? Absolutely! While neuroscience is intensely complex, getting a grasp of what’s going on with the brain on THC is worth exploring.
THC: A Cannabinoid Under Research
More than two decades ago, in 1997, a double-blind study was conducted on 32 participants to understand what goes on in the human brain when delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol, also known as, THC is introduced.
The primary objective of the research was to show how blood flow changes in the brain upon administering THC.
They signed up 32 volunteers who were given either a placebo or two intravenous doses of THC. They then conducted MRI scans on all the volunteers. In the THC group, the MRI reports showed an increase in cerebral blood flow in certain regions of the brain. Unsurprisingly, the placebo group did not demonstrate any change in cerebral blood flow or activity.
What Does This Mean For THC?
Since the 1997 double-blind study reported higher cerebral blood flow activity when THC was introduced, it was concluded that cannabinoids travel in the blood until they reach and connect with the body’s endocannabinoid receptors, a crucial part of the body’s endocannabinoid system.
This also throws light on the psychoactive nature of cannabis: strange feelings, unusual sensations, and peculiar thoughts, among these.
Not only are the cannabis-induced cerebral changes incredibly diverse, but there is also an increase in neural activity in certain areas of the brain. This is what lifts the mind into uncharted territories, and we feel the wonderful sensation of being high.
THC Is Psychoactive
It has also been proven that THC is psychoactive, which also means it alters brain function, perception, mood, thoughts, consciousness, and behavior. This may explain why people tend to think about unusual things and concepts when high and perhaps why people become more creative.
Smoking The Right Amount to Think Deeply
The trick is in smoking the perfect amount. Too much is when your mouth’s as dry as sandpaper. And too little is when you aren’t feeling laid back and relaxed. If you’ve hit the right amount, you’ll know immediately; after all, that’s when the interesting stuff takes over. If you smoke too much, you’ll have very anxious thoughts, and paranoia will hit you out of nowhere. Too little, and you’re bored. Honestly, achieving the perfect dose takes a fair bit of trial and error. But once you’ve found your niche, it’s like the stairway to heaven.
Take Your Brain To The Spa
When your brain starts getting a spa massage, that’s when things really start looking up, and you must allow your mind to wander, ponder or even take a roller coaster ride. At the same time, it’s been scientifically proven that something changes when people get high. Both physically and psychologically. This, too, means different things to different people. But largely, it has been agreed upon that a mind on cannabis functions differently thanks to the special cannabinoid, THC.
Turn To A Philosopher
Most often, smoking a bluntzilla can turn most of us into philosophers, albeit temporarily. But did you know that there’s a solid scientific reason behind that? While most people brush off these green-tinted thoughts (or more likely forget them) soon after the haze has been lifted, there is a scientific reason behind why we think this way when we are under the influence.
Thank THC
Cannabinoids like THC join the cannabinoid receptors of our body, which enhances our sensory perception and leads to euphoria. They also amplify our imagination and send our thoughts on a bullet train ride. Ever feel enamored by the idea of ‘WiFi’ or a sudden deep interest in the concept of achieving ‘Nirvana’? You must thank the cannabinoid for that. It leads you to tangents that will surprise you.
If these herbal nuggets and existential questions got you cannabinoidly optimistic, you are not alone. As psychonauts, we’re no strangers to unraveling the mysteries of the universe. This means that you’ve probably had some of these ridiculous thoughts yourself. Good to know that we have all been on the same frequency at some point in time. So the next time you’re lighting up with a fellow tokenizer, spark up the thought train and embark on another trailblazing 420 adventure.
