I think the cops are at the door

~ Jason Schwartz

From Wired:

In the January issue of Neuropharmacology, which happens to have a marijuana theme, two teams of researchers tried to explain what causes some people to feel paranoid when they smoke weed.

If you think it’s impossible to have too much of a good thing — think again.

In the first sentence of their research paper, a group of Italian scientists explained that low doses of tetrahydrocannabinol — the psychoactive chemical in marijuana — tend to be calming while large amounts have the opposite effect.

  1. Seems like there are probably better ways to achieve calming effects than using illegal substances to begin with, no?
