Initially, THC boosted brain metabolism and synaptic protein levels, indicative of heightened cognitive processes. Subsequently, it shifted towards reducing metabolic activities in the body akin to the effects seen with caloric restriction or intensive exercise, known for their anti-aging benefits.
I like hearing this so it must be true
It can also be true independent of one’s liking it.
That little aphorism you just trotted out is a thought terminating cliche, something that contributes nothing and artificially ends discussion.
You chose it deliberately to denigrate the study with zero evidence, and 11 people agreed with you.
Disturbing for lemmy.
There was an implied /s there.
And now there’s an explicit block here, free for you.
You don’t get to ‘it’s just a prank bro’ someone else’s stupidity.
It really isn’t any of that, they’re just humorously pointing out confirmation bias which is definitely an issue in discussions like these
You’re both right.
You really don’t see how bad it’s gotten in just a year, do you?
I think you need to log off for your mental health
I think I’d rather trust the opinion of my degreed therapist than some rando on the internet, and even with my neurodivergences, she considers me to be a mentally fit and motivated individual.
There really should be a consequence for amateur psychology copypastas.
Mental health is not a binary state, you can have bad periods in an otherwise stable life. You’ve made a thousand posts in a month. I’m being completely genuine, I think you need to evaluate whether this is healthy for you.
Again, she’s got a degree, you likely don’t. I trust her judgment and it hasn’t been wrong in years. Please go bother someone else before I excise you from my internet experience forever.
You’ve made a thousand posts in a month. I
Bitch I have been posting on the internet since before it had pictures, and if you think a thousand posts in a month is significant, then you don’t want to hear about when I still had a reddit account.
Yes she knows, no she is not concerned and even considers it good therapy for me to practice handling my EDS, which I have to say has been a significant improvement in my quality of life. I mean just look at this post, I BARELY insulted you! 5 years ago that wouldn’t be the case and confronted with your rancid presence I would likely already be banned.
You are concern trolling and on any rational media platform that should be an instaban.
Found the basis for CNN and Fox News retaining viewership!
No wonder Cheech, Willie Nelson, and Snoop seem pretty young at heart/mind for their age
I’m not convinced. Unless the idiot stoners in my area are so fucking stupid that even when you work some science magic to make them smarter, they are still about as intelligent as a sack of dirt.
Maybe it de-aged their brain too far?
There’s also this study from 2017, if you want more info on this.
What about other addictive things!!! Sex? Can having sex make me remember where I live? My wife is hot! 🥵
THC definitely makes me a complete fucking moron
Have you tried modulating your intake? Too much will most definitely make you a moron. Small amounts have a positive effect on me.
Same lol
It’s not the THC, guy.
Perhaps it would be more accurate to say I am a moron and the THC way amplifies that 🤔
I’m a moron when I’m stoned but a little bit makes my brain slow the fuck down enough that I can actually concentrate on things and get them done.
Not me. I’m pretty normal. I call it sober #2.
Like mamba #5?
yyeeaahhh and Im beenjammin buttons
Idk, I’m high right now and my memory is shit.
I started getting high later in life (25) and had shit memory beforehand.
It’s a bit less shit now, take that as you will.
What? Maybe your app is broken, those links are the same.
Or is it?
Bro is doing PI work on the horny account.
Younger brains have fewer memories. This checks out.
I didn’t know you can monkeys paw science
The monkey was equally surprised.
Short term vs long term
I voted for this because I want it to be true. Yay, science!
never really expected so many prohibitionist shitbags on lemmy. Off to the blocklist you and your ilk go!
Another drug that increases metabolism, protein, etc is cocaine. I have hunch these researchers already know what answer they want and are making crappy arguments to confirm themselves
That’s why I’m so smrt
I’ve been stoned consistently since covid started. The only “sober” time is when I sleep. I don’t think younger, but most things don’t bother me. Want to improve your brain? Find consistent ways to reduce stress and perform them daily(like an hour walk outside). That will make you feel and think like a younger you.
You’re definitely not sober when you sleep or you’d be talking about the wild ass/sometimes horrific dreams you get when you cut your intake.
Well, I don’t know if we’ll be able to reverse brain aging anytime soon, but we at least know some ways of slowing it down, like by language learning or some other mental tasks.
I personally recommend at least giving a try for learning a new foreign language, it’s fascinating journey and even it might be hard at first it’s very satisfying in the end. And some people might say that it’s not worth it because of AI, but come on, you can still do it for fun, and bigger cultural understanding.
That website gave me dementia.
@karashta
Hell Yes!
Best news I heard all week, and there’s been some good stuff.
