Did you know substance abuse can affect the ability and function of the human brain?

There are many different ways of consuming them [substances] one may drink them in liquid means, use of injections, or smoking them but the effects are the same when you overconsume them.

 

Users say that some of the reasons they use it include sleep deprivation, forgetting problems, finding happiness, and others doing it because of peer pressure but when misused it damages one’s brain.

 

Marijuana or cannabis [weed] is one of the drugs that impair brain function, reduce the ability to make a firm decision, solving various problems properly becomes an issue to the user, and other things that require the brain to think faster.

 

A new study published in The Addiction Journal shows that the use of drugs like cannabis at high levels can damage the human mind.

 

Cannabis use causes users to have forgetfulness, and a lack of willingness to engage in certain activities. This affects daily life.

 

A professor who deals with the study and treatment of mental illness, emotional disturbance, and abnormal behavior ‘psychiatry’ at the University of Montreal and one of the researchers, Dr. Alexandre Dumais,  said that using cannabis causes one to have problems in concentrating, forgetting and failing to remember recent things.

 

As for young people, learning is failing, for workers the productivity at work declines, and motorists are more likely to be involved in accidents.

 

However, studies show that the effects of cannabis on the brain can be alleviated or reduced while consuming them. But it also depends on the size of the grain and the amount of time it is consumed.

Did you know Motorboat noise makes fish bad parents, leading to the death of their babies?

Noise from motorboats is making fish become bad parents, and reducing the chance of their young surviving, research led by marine experts at the University of Exeter has shown. The sound of motorboat engines disturbed coral reef fish so acutely that it changed the behavior of parents and stopped male fish from properly guarding their young, feeding, and interacting with their offspring.   The research, which involved playing recordings of natural reef noise or intermittent motorboat noise around 38 fish nests over 12 days, found that the death rates of baby fish exposed to boat engine noise increased significantly, with six of the 19 boat-noise nests suffering complete mortality.   The Exeter University-led team of marine biologists says that noise from boats is a ’global pollutant’, distracting fish and making them unable to properly protect their young from predators.   They believe motorboat noise should be factored in when trying to protect fish stocks ...

How to identify a liar

Image
A study published in the journal Frontier Psychology on Human Psychology, based on a study by Norbert Wiener, showed how one can identify someone who is lying to him or her by using mathematics.   This study highlights how human beings change their mind in the event of a choice between different things, a change in mind that can be caused by a small amount of information, a person's pre-decision analysis, and how it determines a person's behavior.   A person's mental state is related to the information he or she has before making a decision. When one has enough information one can easily make the choice. For example, before buying something, one first seeks out information and then tries to ask the user and others which gives him or her enough information to make the right decision.   This was echoed by mathematician Thomas Bayes, who says that a person who thinks well first weighs a lot of options before making a decision.   Bayes argues that all a p...
