When will my brain start producing more dopamine?

ok i read that after heavy cannabis use your brain stops producing dopamine cause cannabis can produce it for you. i was smoking everyday for 3 months and now im 3 weeks clean and ive been eating healthy food and only been drinking juices and water when will my brain start producing dopamine itself because atm i feel like nothing.

I've been smoking multiple times daily for a good 4-5 months and I'm still happy without weed.

Isn't that what certain unmentionables do? weed just stimulates it

Uhh no weed is not depleting your dopamine lmao

Prolly never.

I believe this ties in with tolerance.

You guys are pretty misinformed.

Weed doesn't technically even get you high.

Do the research.

It connects receptors in your brain that releases dopamine and other chemicals into the brain.

Dude you need to stop going around telling people they're misinformed, you have nothing to back up your rambling lunacy, just pure ignorance.

Lol do the research, what a crackpot.

Lmao, weed gets you high man.

The high is the feeling you experience.
The weed triggers the mechanisms to cause the experience.
The weed gets you high.

Hahaha, I'll try your argument the next time a cop tries to pop me for possession

Are you depressed or derealized? I have a nasty case of that... Been around for about a year and a half now..
edit: Derealization not depression

Uhh no weed is not depleting your dopamine lmao

it causes your brain to release dopamine. makes you a happy camper. but OPs right extreme misuse of the herb leads to unhappiness without it.

you should be fine in a couple weeks

Weed dosent even get you high man.

In time my freind. Im pretty positive your body will begin to produce it again. So don't worry that you're NOT going to produce any dopamine again naturally.

I never get high from weed

I was being sarcastic......lol but sure. Whatever you say man. And id change everything that is one letter off from Krogan "DMZ" to unmentionables or your gonna get banned lol

WRONG, "Unmentionables" will get you a warning/infraction just as much as posting whatever it is. - WW

This guy knows what I'm talking about.

It triggers things that are already in your brain.

Yet all of this is theory.

Almost anything you have read is theory.

WE actually don't fucking know.

I love how people will believe one thing but then when another point is brought up its a crazy idea.

It goes like this your brain has ALOT of receptors that are not connected.

THC and the other cannabanoids fit perfectly connecting the receptor to another receptor.

Then your brain releases chemicals that were already native to your brain.

But for whatever reason they were waiting for this lego piece to come in and fit it perfectly.

When I say Cannabis doesn't even get you high its still true.

It works with other chemicals in your brain.

I know its a hard one to grasp but its not really all that crazy if you ever read up on DMT.

That shit is fucking insane read up on DMT then anything seems possible.

But it effects your mood, correct? Is it not called being high because we dont have "highs" pumping through through our brains stems?

You are literally making no sense.

Biggest idiot I've seen on these forums, bar none.

So nobody really knows, but you know? That's your case. Brilliant.

Lol, no. Dopamine is not a significant factor.

Mate l2 troll, maybe have a look at a few of my threads and get a basic idea off of them.

I don't think it works the same as some other chemicals that simulate dopamine. If it did I would think there would be similar physical dependency and that isn't the case with cannabis as far I have heard. It might be as simple as the dopamine and whatever chemicals like serotonin are all over the brain but the cannabinoid receptors are in different places and have functions that don't involve those involved with physical dependence. In other words cannabinoids are probably more specific to only certain parts that have to do with mood or something like that. Some suspect that the cannabinoid receptors have to do with controlling what you don't remember. That part makes sense in my case since the feeling is similar and so is some the effect. I think what it does is much more complicated though.

I have some kind of brain condition where I always feel like I am very high. I wish I knew what part of the brain causes that but I suspect it is something that controls mood and handles what you think of as your conscious mind. I expect the same thing is true of THC in that it only affects certain parts of the brain. Other parts of my mind seem to work just fine. I am completely sober chemically but I wouldn't really know it by how I feel. They diagnosed me originally as Parkinson's which is basically a lack of dopamine but decided later that it wasn't because I lack most of the physical symptoms.

DMT is in all of our brains right now.

They can't ban more for talking about it.

Its the most widely used hallucinogen known.

And all of us partake in it when we sleep.

Iv read the theory, but its still just that. A theory not fact.

Actually it is against the rules, not that I give a fuck, DMT is a controlled substance you stupid twat. You weren't discussing REM sleep and neither is this thread.

It's hilarious that you actually think people on here don't know about stuff like DMT.

Other drugs and disrespect are not allowed here - WW
