The more you consume marijuana it will just cause major side effects in your body especially the brain. In the article “ Brain changes are associated with casual marijuana use in young adults” Its states that in Washington DC researchers have found out that young adults who consumes marijuana may lead to “ unidentified brain changes and long-term effects of low to moderate marijuana use on the brain.”. That being said, in previous studies it shows that being exposed to any drugs such as marijuana can cause structural changes in the brain regions that can damage their functions. Later on to find more studies by Jodi Gilman, PhD., Anne Blood, PhD., and Hans Breiter, MD., of Northwestern University and Massachusetts general hospital and Harvard medical school have received a brain of a 18 to 25 year old who had been smoking marijuana at least one per week and of a person who didn't smoke marijuana. When the results came back it showed that there was a significant difference in the brain.They show that the nucleus accumbens and the amygdala has been damaged which it caused the reward processing to enlarge and alternated its shape and its structure.
In the National Institute on Drug Abuse researchers have found out that even though some people hardly use marijuana its affects still damages the brain as those whom consume marijuana daily. If consuming marijuana researchers found out that you can damage your nucleus accumbens and the amygdala which your damaging one of the most important region that plays a central role in emotions. They also found out that the shape and density of both regions are different between marijuana users and non users.As the scientists looked closely they found out that the people who consumes marijuana daily have a greater risk of damaging the abnormalities in the nucleus accumbens and amygdala. Don't change the way you are just because you want to make yourself stand out by hanging around with the wrong people.
