Bad news for the half-baked: marijuana can cause changes in the brain chemistry that sap energy according to a British study.

Researchers used a positron emission tomography (PET) scanner, to the production of dopamine, a neurotransmitter with reward and motivation in the people who smoked at least three times a week together not more than 10 times blew on weed with people in her life had to compare. The scans showed that the ordinary pot user produces less dopamine as compared to non-smokers. The more they smoked--measured in how many days they said it took up to a standard an eighth ounce to burn - the lower is their dopamine levels.

Dopamine is the brain chemical that makes you comfortable feel, if you do something right, whether your boss approval of Warcraft Powerleveling wins it at work or to world. But with less it is produced as a result of frequent toking, less happily make your achievements, and so recommend don't bother to the extra effort, the researchers.

Previous studies have shown that the cannabis, THC, the chemical that kick a potent stimulator of dopamine is that. "But probably regular marijuana does reduce your brain to dopamine it produces, the extra dopamine, released by cannabis to compensate for", says study author of Oliver Howes, Ph.d., Hammersmith Hospital, London.

So how much can weed you smoke before you then? The occasional puff pastry at a party is probably harmless, but also, once in a week "from the levels that we studied" not so far away, Howes says, and could the pinch on your dopamine. Since this is the first study to look at how dopamine was struck by heavy marijuana use, it is still not clear if these changes are permanent, or if finish your motivation will return to normal.

For more, look forward and cons of pot to our recently published report, the truth about medical marijuana.
