Study: Marijuana Effective In Treating Depression

Depression is bad alone then we have the illegal weed , illegality makes it worse on the users as they get stressed over cost and strength etc. Its time to unwind these laws break the chains, free the weed Source" theweedblog A study was recently released which found that marijuana can be an effective treatment for depression.

Study shows marijuana’s long-term effects on the brain

     The effects of chronic marijuana use on the brain may depend on age of first use and duration of use, according to researchers at the Center for BrainHealth at The University of Texas at Dallas. In a paper published today in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), researchers for the first time comprehensively describe existing abnormalities in brain function and structure of long-term marijuana users with multiple magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques. Findings show chronic marijuana users have smaller brain volume in the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC), a part of the brain commonly associated with addiction, but also increased brain connectivity. “We have seen a steady increase in the incidence of marijuana use since 2007,“said Dr. Francesca Filbey , Associate Professor in the School of Behavioral and Brain Sciences at the University of Texas at Dallas and Director of the Cognitive Neuroscience Research in Addictive Disorders at the Center for BrainHealth
