How Marijuana Affects Your Developing Brain
Part eight of our underage drinking prevention program addresses the effects of cannabis on the developing brain. It is important for kids to have the knowledge and tools they need to say βNOβ to an array of risky behaviors.
As endocannabinoids communicate with receptors throughout the body, they create balance and help regulate many body and brain functions, such as helping with memory, coping with stress, pain, and anxiety, and keeping hunger, body temperature, motor coordination, and alertness in balance. When cannabis is introduced, it unbalances the endocannabinoid system - which is supposed to keep the brain in balance and prevents the natural chemicals from doing their job.
