Just figured I'd throw in here (just for those who may not be aware) that delta-9-THC is *by far* not the only active phytochemical in marijuana. Anyone who's taken the prescription drug Marinol (dronabinol -- delta-9-THC in tablet form prescribed for nausea and to increase appetite) can tell you that. :-)
When figuring the neurotransmitters pot affects and in which ways, you've got to take hundreds of chemicals into account.
Oh, as a side note, Marinol isn't even all that effective for chemotherapy nausea and AIDS wasting syndrome -- works okay for some, but I'd bet those same people would receive much more substantial benefit using the form of the drug Mother Nature has provided for us.
