     I was recently doing research into the way Meth affects the brain since there are so many people on Cops now getting busted for it. I guess most drugs attack the dopamine transmitters and cause them to release then block the recycling process so eventually they do not feel happy when sober and getting high is no longer high it is less then feeling normal/happy/neutral, the drug just helps them feel closer to a normal clean happy and they become slowly more depressed.
     
    Cannabis also affects dopamine or serotonin if I read correctly? This wouldn't affect the natural amount of transmitter activity when you are not stoned if you already have depression would it? I have been smoking daily for almost a decade and I want to make sure it is not negatively affecting an already low natural process when I am not stoned.
