The key clinical test of whether a substance is a drug of abuse potential or not is whether administration of the drug reduces the amount of electrical stimulation needed to produce self-stimulation response, or dopamine production. This is an indication that a drug has reinforcing properties, and that an individual’s use of the drug can lead to addictive and other harmful behavior.

[merryfourtwenty]

The rewarding properties of dopamine are what accounts for animal studies in which animals will forgo food and drink or willingly experience electric shocks in order to stimulate the brain reward system. It is now widely held that drugs of abuse directly or indirectly affect the brain reward system.

[merryfourtwenty]

While there are cannabinoid receptors in the ventromedial striatum and basal ganglia which are areas associated with dopamine production, no cannabinoid receptors have been found in dopamine-producing neurons, and as mentioned above, no reinforcing properties have been demonstrated in animal studies.

[merryfourtwenty]

Notice that Dr. Drew must say "syndrome" rather than the word "withdrawal symptoms" because a syndrome is just a pattern of hard to agree on behaviors in contrast to the actual scientific measurement of addictive which implies "post acute withdrawal"

They are banking on the fact that the public can not distinguish the difference in vocabulary. Homosexuality can be considered a behavioral syndrome and subsequent mental illness.

Drew is making money off of weak behavior not addiction.

[merryfourtwenty]

Serious drugs of abuse, such as heroin and cocaine, interfere with the brains use of dopamine in manners that can seriously alter an individual's behavior..... a drug's ability to affect the neural systems related to dopamine production has now become the defining characteristic of drugs with serious abuse potential.

According to the congressional Office of Technology Assessment, research over the last 10 years has proved that marijuana has no effect on dopamine-related brain systems....NONE

@merryfourtwenty .............once again "no cannabinoid receptors have been found in dopamine-producing neurons"

With no CB-1 receptors in dopamine producing neurons then how the fuck is marijuana "addictive" when it defies the very scientific classification of scientific addiction? This Dr. Drew is more like a botox injected actor rather than a real doctor.

Unless you falsify your research by using a Lewis type rat that has been genetically inbred to be inclined to addiction.

Let's look at some facts, shall we?

Alcohol related deaths per year: 100,000

Tobacco related deaths per year: 400,000

Prescription pill related deaths per year: 40,000

Marijuana related deaths per year: ZERO

The numbers don't lie, yet these narrow minded dumbasses who've been brainwashed keep spouting out the same idiotic nonsense that they've been saying since the 1930's. What a joke... it's time for you to join us in 2012, dumbasses. Pot should be legal - end of story!

[PhukAdvertisements]

Hello... my name is Raul... & I'm here today... because of my addiction... to MARIJUANA!

*hangs head in shame & tears up*

LMFAO... what a joke. Marijuana should be legal & that's all there is to it. Pot is a harmless, beneficial plant - it's a proven scientific fact. It's time for people to step out of the 1930's & wake up.

@PhukAdvertisements what really pisses me off is my health class on marijuana my book says it causes cancer and schizophrenia complete bull shit and that stay above the influence shit is fucking stupid bunch of bias propaganda passed by the government 

[PhukAdvertisements]

@merryfourtwenty Dr. Drew is a dumbass. It's absolutely impossible to get chemically addicted to pot, & anybody who thinks otherwise is just a complete fucking moron. Pot is habit forming, but it's not hard to quit the habit. Eating cheeseburgers is habit forming too, jacking off is habit forming, putting your hands in your pocket in public is habit forming, etc etc etc etc.... should would make all that shit illegal too? These idiots need to join us in 2012. Weed is HARMLESS.

@chickenmaster66 That's exactly what I meant - people have been high & died in car wrecks, died from heart attacks, died from being murdered, etc etc etc.... but it wasn't marijuana related. They didn't die BECAUSE of pot - they just happened to be on pot when they died. 0 overdoses, helps all kinds of diseases & ailments. Pot is definitely a better medicine than pills. Pills have 1000000000 side effects. The only side effects from pot is being happy & hungry. LEGALIZE WEED!!!

[chickenmaster66]

@PhukAdvertisements theres actaully been a couple hundred deaths indirectly from marijuana as in the people that died were high but never directly as in you cant overdose on marijuana

[5tonyvvvv]
