Study Shows Marijuana Dramatically Increases Melatonin Production
Of all the known ways to stimulate melatonin production,none is more dramatic than smoking marijuana.Ganga stimulates production of a prostaglandin called PGE2.
The Italian study reveals that it dramatically increases melatonin production.
The researchers discovered that when eight men smoked marijuana,THEY ALL had elevated levels of melatonin twenty minutes later.
After two hours their melatonin levels were four thousand percent higher than at baseline.
After all these years I thought the buzz was THC,well it seems that THC is a catalyst that opens our mind to natural brain canniboloid receptors via melatonin.
A quasi effect of bio chemical interaction.

This would explain why a person who smokes pot daily or almost daily doesn't accomplish anything. They are basically sleeping their lives alive, even when awake.
Music is a greater revelation than all philosophy and wisdom.

i would disagree with that sweeping generalisation. This may be true in some cases but not all.

This would however explain why when someone stops using pot that their dreams become much more vivid. As they are in a semi-dream state during a waking state.

Hey 5150-Bill that document you are using for your avatar talks about the persuit of happiness not the persuit of pessimism. Ive read some of your other posts and you appear to be a professial skeptic with a heavy dose of pessimism. Some of the most successful people I know smoke pot regularly. One is a Physicst who designs lasers for Coherent General another a big time Manhattan lawyer, and yet another is a Systems Analyst. Even Carl Sagan admitted to smoking pot when he was writing or theorizing. So try to open your mind and recognize the truth all around you.

Re: Study Shows Marijuana Dramatically Increases Melatonin Production
I,ve smoked 5 to 10 joints everyday for 30 years. I own my own business 3 houses, a musical duo and I ve been married for 15 years.I am a steel fabricator in my city I am the go to guy when you need to have something made that you can not buy. Smoking weed has been a tremendous creativity factor in my life.I have smoked cigs. for just as long and I would say the pot makes you cough out all the crap from the cigarettes.How else can you explain me being 42 and being able to out run my 6 year old dalmation dog.I think all the scare mongering on pot is crazy.It all boils down to big phama and corporations
trying to keep their monopoly on drugs.
Here are somethings you can make out of hemp.Fuel for your deisel car or truck,no engine mods. required.Lumber,concrete,paper,rope cloth, clothes,food,plastic and on and on it goes.So you can see that the reason pot is illegal is because of corporate greed. Simple Eh?

============================

There was a report done at the time when the Just Say No program was going on and companies started drug testing.

They did a surprise drug test on all employees of a utility in Georgia.

The Findings? All of the people who tested positive for pot were the one's who received the most advancements, had less stress, were the most enthusiastic about their job. The utility was in a quandry - if they fired the employees who tested positive, they lost their best employees, but the feds said they had to.

There were other cases just like this, but this one stuck in my mind. The study is packed up in a box in my garage, so it is not at my fingertips.

I think smoking pot balances people. It's bad enough to be a wage slave, and smoking takes off some of that stress, plus it does open you up to more spiritual channels. My problem is, I don't write them down and forget about them, at least consciously, maybe not subconsciously. Haven't you noticed how pot smokers, and just pot smokers (no other drugs) are the most easy going people? Easy to laugh and generous?

Well, it may be for the best, but I am still going to cut back. I think that in moderation it's fine, but when you smoke pot everyday....I know that I am not as productive smoking it every day.

Re: Study Shows Marijuana Dramatically Increases Melatonin Production
I'm a personal trainer, nutritional specialist, exercise therapist and fitness model much success and happiness here and I can say marijuana has nothing to do with the outcome of your life. it's only a benefit if you ask me and millions of other people who aren't narrow mined and open to new studies that prove marijuana is harmless. National academy of science even says 0 deaths from marijuana. I am an every day smoker it helps for muscle pains from my work outs and a lot better than taking supplements for it, I'm all natural, so is marijuana. Now lsd pcp and others now those are drugs kids.

I work two jobs and go to planet fitness 15/20 hours a week.I only sleep two to four hours a night and I would not even get that if not for a hit or two before laying down.But maybe I should just take legal Ambien so I don't have to be a criminal.

Someone further up began a little list of things cannabis can do for us other than make us happy and healthier...But they didn't touch on the benefits of consuming hemp seed, which are just phenomenal.

[link to thehempoilbenefits.com]

Tell you what, if it were legal in my state, I would use a little everyday.

Here are a couple of links:

[link to www.businessinsider.com]

[link to www.voteindustrialhemp.com]

And cannabis is hemp. Hemp is cannabis sativa with very low THC. But THC is actually quite good for you as well, and there are hundreds of studies that bear that out.

The cannabis is out of the bag. Only the brain dead and the fear mongers can remain anti-cannabis in light of all the information out about how it benefits humans and the earth.

You got to have system, on my work day I woke up and smoke one only together with ice cold Red Bull. Then go to work and don't smoke all day until I come home, have good meal and after 8pm I start again until I'm so high I just fall a sleep in front of tv or laptop.

I got no problems with laziness or functioning properly.

Another demonstrable benefit of MJ. And more importantly for sleep, a critical key to health and longevity that people somehow think its a virtue not to get enough of. Made since for a warfighter, but why would you want to take years of your life and compromise your current health by getting less than even six hours of sleep?
