Multiple studies are popping up with new insight into howcannabis can change the mindset of people with antisocial behaviour. But psychologist TimothyDeckman is particularly concerned with the pain that is often associated with the social lives ofintroverts.

Deckman’s research is heavily influenced by a prior study that had shown how acetaminophen (ibuprofen)interacts with the brain. It focuses specifically on the brain regions containing cannabinoid 1 receptors.These receptors influence emotional responses derived from social interactions, and it turns out, ibuprofencan lessen the intensity of emotional distress that came from being social.
Deckman’s study wanted to determine if cannabis would have the same, or an even greater effect on socialpain. Since THC and acetaminophen interact with similar receptors, Deckman was expecting great resultsbefore he even began human experiments.
The results? Introverts should smoke weed

With data gathered from over 5000 Americans, Deckman concluded that those who regularly consumedcannabis had much lower feelings of loneliness and low self-worth. A parallel test also revealed that with537 participants, those who smoked cannabis were less likely to suffer from major depression.
Some testaments from the cannabis-using introverts also help to display the effect it can have on thephysical and mental health on specific types of mindsets.
So with positive results from this study, cannabis can be confidently recommended to anyone that suffersfrom introverted tendencies. Whether it’s awkwardness at parties or sensitivity to criticism, cannabis mayhelp buffer your normal emotional response.

Brendan R Schmitz · Lompoc, CaliforniaAcetaminophen and Ibuprofen are two different drugs. You make it hard for me to trust these studies if you don'tunderstand basic medicine. Its a good article but it helps to keep all your information trustworthy.
