Low doses had a potent anti-depressant effect, but when we increased the dose, the serotonin in the rats' brains actually dropped below the level of those in the control group. So we actually demonstrated a double effect: At low doses it increases serotonin, but at higher doses the effect is devastating, completely reversed.
The McGill researchers are concerned that marijuana smokers may not be able to judge their dosage amounts properly. They claim that smoking joints doesnt offer the best quantitative measure of marijuana dosage. Instead, Dr. Gobbi and her colleagues are focusing their research on a new type of drug which enhances the effects of the brains natural endo-cannabinoids.
