More from Dr. A: I myself have witnessed these brain changes time and time again over the span of my 30-year career, as have many of the medical doctors, psychiatrists, and psychologists on our team here at the Amen Clinics. We care about you and your family, so it is our duty to deliver relevant information about brain health, as uncomfortable as those truths may be. As the person who has probably seen more functional brain scans on marijuana users than any other human being, know that I often see a toxic appearance in chronic marijuana users, which looks like “holes” or decreased activity and blood flow in the brain. I consistently see problems with motivation in people who use marijuana long-term. Essentially, you may be calming down the parts of the brain that have you feeling anxious, tense, or angry… but you are also slowing down very important parts that help you with motivation, focus, planning ahead, and impulse control. [Or as our dear governor Jerry Brown said, Do we really want a country of Potheads?]
