Talk:Motivation and emotion/Book/2013/Cannabis and emotion

Teamwork
Hi, i'm doing nicotine and emotion I will be interested to see how our information differs. Especially considering that cannabis consumption usually involves a more pure thc product whereas nicotine is mostly smoked in cigarettes which are filtered, use additives, other chemicals etc. Is there any definitive or recent revealing research showing effectual differences between nicotine and cannabis on emotion? Does their consumption both provide similar or differing rewarding/aversive emotional effects? If you happen to find anything interesting more related to nicotine in your searches i'd love to have at it ;) Also, I suppose a major question would be, are there long term emotional effects of cannabis consumption or is it more restricted to short term effects? Does cannabis consumption contribute to development of or effect pre-existing psychopathologies? I'll send you any neat stuff I come across that might be relevant to your chapter.

Thanks! Best of luck! PatrickBateman (discuss • contribs) 03:26, 21 October 2013 (UTC)

Hey there, I am not sure if this chapter is still up and running but whenever I think of substance use I remember the classic spider-web experiment. Experimenters administered drugs to spiders and observed how this affected their ability to create a web. I have attached a youtube clip for your interest, I find it very interesting http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmpquNqXQaA Rashpocket (discuss • contribs) 23:29, 31 October 2013 (UTC)

Ideas?
Hi, I'm doing the effects of alcohol and emotion, so like the person doing nicotine and emotion I'm really curious to see where this chapter is going. I have found that the physiological effects are particularly interesting when looking at emotion especially for depressants which I believe that Cannabis is. I found a great resource on psychobiological responses due to cannabis, might be worth a look!
