1. HOW THC AFFECTS
OUR BRAIN
Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is the main
psychoactive ingredient of cannabis
It releases dopamine in our brain and
creates feelings of euphoria
THC fits like a lock and key into our brain
receptors in hippocampus, amygdala,
nucleus accumbens, hypothalamus,
cerebellum, basal ganglia
THC changes our brain chemistry and
structure resulting in implications like
poorer cognitive function and poorer
emotional outcomes
