Talk:Motivation and emotion/Book/2015/Cannabis and negative emotions

Page Discussion
Hello. I like the simple layout of your page, it is coming together really well. One thing I noticed was the statement "incidences where paramedics have been needed has doubled since 2012-2013", I have heard of an increase in alcohol related incidences where paramedics need to respond, although generally if someone uses to much cannabis they eat to much junk food and fall asleep. The statistics on cannabis related injuries I don't believe exists. If you talked about an increase in those suffering from drug psychosis, this may be more relevant with the increase of THC in cannabis in recent times, at the expense of the natural anti-psychotics that were contained in the natural plant. Also some may use cannabis to self-medicate in the case of depression and then give it up later when thing in their life change. This in no way is condoning cannabis use as many of the effects are still being determined, especially when used by adolescents where significant neurological changes are happening. Great chapter so far though. David James Stevenson (discuss • contribs) 22:41, 20 October 2015 (UTC)

Hi! Interesting topic! I thought perhaps you might want to include the certain brain structures that are responsible for negative emotions, and what parts of the brain are being effected most in terms of the deficits you have mentioned as a result of cannabis use. Also, don't forget to reference your images in APA format with figure 1 etc. U3100230 (discuss • contribs) 09:08, 21 October 2015 (UTC)
