Marijuana increases cravings for hard drugs

Marijuana use increases the risk of developing addiction to hard drugs regardless of the individual's psychological characteristics. This is the conclusion reached by researchers from the Mount Sinai School of Medicine (New York) as a result of experiments with laboratory rats.

In an experiment published online in the journal Neuropsychopharmacology, scientists observed the behavior of young rats exposed to cannabis. Given access to opiates, the rodents consumed these drugs in significantly higher doses than their peers who had no “drug experience.”

Previously, it was believed that frequent cases of transition from marijuana to harder drugs were associated not so much with smoking "weed" as with the negative influence of the social environment and the personal characteristics of future drug addicts.

However, the researchers say their experiment shows that the need for powerful stimulants may be linked to the long-term effects of marijuana on the brain.

Teenagers are especially sensitive to the effects of marijuana, as the formation of the nerve centers that control behavior in their brains has not yet been completed.
