People think a little marijuana shouldnt cause a problem if someone is doing OK with work or school, said Breiter. Our data directly says this is not so. Shockingly, every single person in the marijuana group, including those who only smoked once a week, had noticeable abnormalities, with the nucleus accumbens and the amygdala showing changes in density, volume and shape. Those who smoked more had more significant variations. This is a part of the brain that you absolutely never ever want to touch, said Breiter. I dont want to say that these are magical parts of the brain — they are all important. But these are fundamental in terms of what people find pleasurable in the world and assessing that against the bad things.
