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
