just wondering what may cause apathy, amotivation, and hardened cognitive processes with heavy pot use back in the teens. i mean neurochemically speaking, to try and deduce what meds may be effective to resolve such issues, but also better understand the neurochemical and neuroanatomical cause. have any SPECT scans been done?
pot use probably isnt what started things with me. it is most likely not that at all. but i think it took my problems and made things a lot worse (albeit it having initially made things better.) my reaction to pot was ballistic and very different from what other people experience, and very difficult to handle for other people, and then i'd be ruined for days. i was not mellow. but the end result, well, i am basically emotionally dead, but automatic around people. i probably would still be like this today but pot really didn't help.
does anyone have any clues on the post-pot effects on the brain, and what clues for therapeutic intervention there may be, even for people with similar symptoms and experience even without the having ever used pot maybe.
