Addiction plays a large mr part than simply dopamine flood, structures such as the insula and NAC are important in understanding specific addictions and are affected by NT receptors but are still not completely comprehended. Also THC(really impressed you spelled that out) primarily has an effect on dopaminergic neurons(that is in the NAC, not VTA.) Also it is a scientific fact that excess cannaboids in parts of the brain are detrimental to long term working memory(the hippocampus specifically)

Well, in contrast with [b]real[/b] addictive drugs, THC doesn't come close to stacking up with those. Maybe it might cause memory loss, but people smoke weed all their lives and are healthy, as opposed to tobacco. I do agree that I dislike the weed culture, but it is [i]not[/i] addictive. No matter what perspective you look at it as. When you get a kill in Halo or Call of Duty, your brain releases a little dopamine, you feel good when you get at kill. Should we ban video games because they [i]can[/i] cause addiction? F[i]u[/i]ck no.
