Medically speaking, why does marijuana make us think differently?

    We all know marijuana makes us think differently, and many stoners have the same thoughts, such as ones relating to death, life, or "deep" things. Yup, you know the ones.

    "Why are we here?"
    "What is my purpose?"

    What chemical changes occur in the brain to cause these thoughts so much. And why are they DEEP thoughts, and why do we ALL get them?

    I get them from time to time.

    The chemical changes are our cannabinoid receptors getting THC and CBD, among the other chemicals.

    The deep thoughts come from the cliche of weed making you wonder about the purpose of life. Sometimes it just slows people's thoughts down enough to forget all the distractions they've given themselves over the years.

    I don't think there are any underlying connections between weed and the meaning of life, if that's what you're getting at.

    Disconnection of the Ego.
    Depersonalization
    blah blah.

    I think weed, if your susceptible to mild psychoactives like me, dissolves your ego and lets you see life through different eyes. It gives a different perspective. Different perspective = different thoughts/idea's/connections.

    Been depersonalized for 2 years now after smoking a 2g blunt. I feel indifferent to it.

    you ever have trouble 'being in the moment' and feeling like your part of the fun?
