In the context of the discovery of the cerebral ligand for the cannabis receptor, and the elucidation of its genetic sequence, we discuss the psychomimetic properties of Cannabis sativa, and explore the relationship between cannabis intoxication and mood. We suggest that renewed study of acute cannabis encephalopathy would be rewarding not only in deepening our understanding of consciousness in healthy adults, but also in helping us to understand the perceptual world of the child, the elderly, and some of our patients.
ResumenAnalizamos las propiedades psicomiméticas de la Cannabis sativa y exploramos la relación entre la intoxicación por cannabis y el estado de ánimo en el contexto del descubrimiento del ligando cerebral para el receptor de esta sustancia y el esclarecimiento de su secuencia genética. Proponemos que sería valiosa una renovación del estudio de la encefalopatía aguda por cannabis, no sólo para profundizar nuestra comprensión de la consciencia en los adultos sanos, sino también para ayudamos a entender el mundo perceptivo del niño, el anciano y algunos de nuestros pacientes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
