i have been studying art and psychology in school and believe i have determined the real effect of marijuana on your brain. this requires a little prerequisite knowledge of the functions and characteristics of the left and the right sides of the human brain.
RIGHT SIDE
,artistic
,spatial relationships and geometric patterns
,the OBSERVANT side that allows us to SEE rather than to KNOW (see their surroundings with thir eyes rather than seeing their stored left brain interpretation of those same things
,has a hard time talking with people and using symbols, words, etc.
,is what used to be dominant in humans, but because of our number and langauge based society, is now dominated by the right side
,used in art
LEFT SIDE
,number and symbol based
,writing ability
,logical, rational
,math
,conversational
,what is usually dominant in people today but used to be the recessive one
,creates symbol of things that it sees rather than truely OBSERVING them
My hypothesis is that marijuana use either stimulates the right side of our brains, or inhibits the left side of your brain causing the right to take over. i think this for these reasons:
,marijuana is often used as a creative aid by artists (art is always attributed to the use of the right brain rather than the left)
,people often claim that they can see geometric patterns in their field of vision (i know this a very strong effect that i get and several of my friends get this effect as well)
,people often claim to be able to experience sensory information to a much higher degree, which would be attributed to the left brain's heightened power of observation
,many people find it more difficult to converse and talk as they normally would, again typical of the right brain
,many people have a hard tme writing when high, which is typical of the right brain
,its a fact that we are usually using our left brains, and this would explain the dramatic change in thinking patterns while high (right brained)
