On the other end of the spectrum, people try to short circuit life, by taking short cuts. For example, a typical cocaine user has a great experience with his first use. Yet with succeeding hits, the cocaine user finds he must take the drug just to stay normal. Without the drug he is very depressed. The drug becomes his life at this point.
Marijuana works differently.
Things that are ordinary look much better. Dirt on the wall can be like a painting. With a lower IQ, many marijuana users never grow, and end up living with their parents when most people have started their own families. Marijuana reduces the good in the world, by making everything seem too good. The Three Major Areas of the Brain During the 1960's, research on the corpus callosum, caused the investigators to consider that the each hemisphere of the brain worked together, each specializing in different modes of thinking.
