    Every person is different and therefore the effects they feel after consuming cannabis are different too. For some, marijuana is a lovely getaway from reality; for others, it's nothing more than a source of side effects like paranoia, cognitive problems or an increased risk of developing schizophrenia.Until now, it wasn't clear as to which specific regions of the brain were responsible for these highly divergent effects of cannabis. However, a new study -- led by Steven Laviolette, Ph.D., Professor at Western's Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry and Christopher Norris, a postdoctoral fellow -- reveals critical new insights into how marijuana can produce such highly diverse psychological effects in different individuals.The researchers wrote in their study that translational rodent research helped them identify specific target regions in the brain that 'apparently' independently control rewarding, addictive properties of marijuana versus the psychiatric side-effects associated with its consumption.What exactly did the study find?The researchers noted that THC -- the psychoactive chemical in marijuana -- produced highly rewarding effects in the front-most part of an area of the brain called the nucleus accumbens. Furthermore, it was seen, the cannabinoid amplified the addictive properties of opioid drugs such as morphine and "increased reward-related activity patterns in the neurons".On the other hand, THC in the posterior area of the nucleus accumbens region produced highly adverse effects which included schizophrenia-related emotional and cognitive symptoms, and patterns of neuron activity similar to those found in people suffering from this serious mental illness.The researchers concluded: "Since the reward and aversion are produced by anatomically distinct regions, the different effects experienced by individuals is likely because of genetic variation leading to differential sensitivity of each regions."Here's the link to the study published in the journal Scientific Reports

Washington is the top consumer of cannabis, finds study

A study by researchers at the University of Washington has found that the state may be the top cannabis consumer of in the world even beating the likes of Amsterdam, which is well-known all over the world for its cannabis tourism.

The researchers analyzed a Western Washington city’s public waste-water over a period of 3 years from 2013-2016, looking for the chemical THC-COOH, the human byproduct of marijuana’s active ingredient. For this, they performed chemical analysis on wastewater from 2 treatment plants that reportedly serviced “a municipality of nearly 2,00,000 people”. The obtained results were then generalized to all of Washington and the following inferences were made:

1) Legal sales outperformed the illicit market

By comparing their sewage data with the data from Cannabis Board and Washington State Liquor, which informed the researchers on how much THC was being sold through products from licensed outlets, the researchers found the THC-COOH to be more consistent with the lower levels of the psychoactive element that came with the legal cannabis. Notably, legal THC sales increased 70% per quarter between August 2014 and December 2016.

2) Cannabis Use doubled in 3 years

The study — published in the journal Addiction — noted that the THC-COOH levels saw an increase of 9% per quarter, pointing to a ‘doubled THC consumption’ from December 2013 to December 2016.

3) Western Washington may be the top consumer of THC in the world

Dr. Daniel A Burgard, the lead researcher on the study, says that the Western Washington data shows the highest amount of THC recorded per capita, even more than Amsterdam. Notably, Burgard is part of many similar studies being conducted across the globe.

“We are part of an international study … with 60 to 80 other cities around the world,” he said. “And according to wastewater, the Puget Sound area has the highest marijuana use per capita.”

Thus, Washington can enjoy this distinction until future research finds out another region with even higher consumption of marijuana.
