high stress environments the dopaminergic system over pruning occurs in the first 3 years of life. Therefore, while constitutional factors (DNA) start the production of neurons, it is the environment which is responsible for the “Blooming & Pruning” of neurons and neural networks. Siegel 1999
That is the development of neural-networks

Functions:
Affects from substance abuse:
Hyper-arousal: Anxiety, Anger, Rage, High Alert, and Manic thoughts/behaviors. Arousal zone: a person is able to function most effectively. When people are within this zone, they are typically able to readily receive, process, and integrate information and otherwise respond to the demands of everyday life without much difficulty. Hypo-arousal: Tired/Lazy, Sadness/Depression, and Suicidal thoughts/Suicidal.

When asked, only about 1 in 14 teens say they used marijuana in
the past month.1 So, if you were thinking everyone uses marijuana, they don’t.
Some think marijuana is okay to use because it's "natural." But not
all natural plants are good for you—take tobacco, for example.
Some teens believe marijuana can't be that harmful if states are
legalizing it. Legal or not, one real risk is addiction.
In 2016, around 4 million people ages 12 and older had a
marijuana use disorder. The most severe form also is known as an addiction.1
Research also shows that marijuana can harm the developing
teen brain.
Marijuana users
Proposition 64 legalized the recreational use of marijuana for adults aged 21 years or older, permitting smoking in a private home or at a business licensed for on-site marijuana
tobacco is, and in all public places. Up to 28.5 grams of marijuana and 8 grams of concentrated marijuana are legal to possess under this measure. However, possession on the grounds of a school, day care center, or youth center while children are present remains
area is locked and not visible from a public place.[3]
Marijuana sellers
According to this proposition, businesses needed to acquire a state license to sell marijuana for recreational use. Local governments could also require them to obtain a local license. Businesses were not authorized by the proposition to sell within 600 feet of a school, day care center, or youth center.[3] The initiative also prevented licenses for large-scale marijuana businesses for five years in order to prevent "unlawful monopoly power."[8]
Marijuana regulation
The Bureau of Medical Cannabis Regulation was renamed the Bureau of Marijuana Control and became responsible for regulating and licensing marijuana businesses.[3]
Counties and municipalities were empowered to restrict where marijuana businesses could be located. Local governments were also allowed to completely ban the sale of marijuana from their jurisdictions. Moreover, local jurisdictions were allowed by the measure to "reasonably regulate" the personal growth, possession, and use of marijuana plants allowed by Prop. 64.

Hallucinogens are a diverse group of
drugs that alter perception, thoughts, and feelings. They cause hallucinations, or sensations and images that seem real though they are not. Some hallucinogens also cause users to feel out of control or disconnected from their body and environment.
People use hallucinogens in a wide
variety of ways, including smoking, snorting, and absorbing through the lining in the mouth.
Hallucinogens interfere with actions of
brain chemicals responsible for functions that include: mood
sensory perception sleep body temperature muscle control pain perception memory
12 HOURS. ALONG WITH HALLUCINATIONS, OTHER SHORT-TERM GENERAL EFFECTS OF HALLUCINOGENS INCLUDE: INCREASED HEART RATE NAUSEA INTENSIFIED FEELINGS AND SENSORY EXPERIENCES CHANGES IN SENSE OF TIME PERSISTENT PSYCHOSIS AND FLASHBACKS ARE TWO LONG-TERM EFFECTS ASSOCIATED WITH SOME HALLUCINOGENS. EVIDENCE INDICATES THAT CERTAIN HALLUCINOGENS CAN BE ADDICTIVE OR THAT PEOPLE CAN DEVELOP A TOLERANCE TO THEM. LONG TERM AFFECTS- SPEECH PROBLEMS, MEMORY LOSS, WEIGHT LOSS, AND DEPRESSION/SUICIDAL THOUGHTS.
