Marijuana or Cannabis component can cause paranoia. The study explains the facts causing the effects of being paranoid on the use this weed.

 

LeafScience explains the interesting effect of marijuana on anxiety. A certain study conducted by a group of scientists from the Vanderbilt University explains how marijuana cause someone to be paranoid.

Marijuana or Cannabis is not just an ordinary weed. However, many people use marijuana without adverse effects but with pleasant one or for the purpose of medication, The Guardian reported. 

Evidence show that marijuana can also cure some kinds of diseases.

Unfortunately, marijuana can also cause a certain link in the brain thus causing paranoid thoughts. The brain itself has its cannabinoid receptors which are responsible for generating anxiety and fear called amygdala.

Marijuana then causes these cannabinoid receptors in almost all regions of the brains to be activated. When this happens, the person may feel too much fear and anxiety even if there is nothing to b feared of.

Dr. Sachin Patel explained, "We know where the receptors are, as well as we know their function and how these neurons make their own cannabinoids. Now can we see how that system is affected by stress and chronic use of marijuana?"

It results in only one word, "Paranoid." When people uses marijuana, because of the reaction of the receptors in the brain, paranoia exists. This will give effect for the marijuana users to be more likely to be at the problematic end of a spectrum.

This will result to the certainty that people under paranoia feel five times the fear which nonusers feel. Leading them to think that there's always somebody who are trying to cause them too much harm or serious injury.

Therefore, the long use of marijuana can extremely result to paranoia. Likewise, experts agree that the regular use of the weed from that of early age can cause severe mental health problems in the future.
