VICEさんのインスタグラム写真 - (VICEInstagram)「It’s time to make it official: Stoners “have more empathy” than their non-smoking counterparts, according to a new study from researchers at the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México. ⁠ ⁠ The team looked at a sample of 136 people, and found that those who smoked weed regularly found it easier to sense how others are feeling than those who didn’t. Brain scans also revealed that the anterior cingulate—a region linked to empathy—was particularly active in stoners. Shout out to the weed smokers.⁠ ⁠ The team say the results open up a window for exploring cannabis use in aiding conditions where people struggle with social interactions. Like, for example, social anxiety. One caveat here is the researchers note the Mexican weed used in the study was "lower quality" than weed in the US, containing just two to ten percent THC. As a result, weed's effect on empathy could be different in the US. The question is: is that effect higher or lower? Bring on the next study please.」11月9日 1時19分
