Answer to Question 1

Answer: THC, the euphoriant component of marijuana, has psychotic-induced effects, whereas another component, CBD, has antipsychotic effects. One problem is that the relative content of these ingredients has changed over the last 20 years. The amount of THC has increased whereas the amount of CBD has decreased. Several recent studies suggest that cannabis use increases the risk of developing psychosis.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Humans either smoke regularly or not at all. Smokers find it very difficult to stop smoking, even after suffering diseases that are directly related to smoking. Animals self- administer nicotine and this drug, like cocaine, activates dopamine processes within the nucleus accumbens.
