Did you know your CNS has a programmable bio-filter for incoming information? There is literally too much incoming data, from your senses, for your brain to absorb and process all of it. Among other things, our reticular activation system decides which bits of data to pay attention to, and which bits to let slide on by without notice. The reticular formation has neural nodes in a large number of areas of the brain.
Here's a quick video which explains it quite well.

It's responsible for regulating consciousness, pain/sensation, breathing, wake/sleep and mood, and is considered one of the oldest portions of the brain. And here I just found out about it. Go figure.
So, my first question was (since this system has it's hands in just about every area of physiology I have issues with), what the heck effects does cannabis have on it? More specifically, I guess the question will come down to which terpene/terpene-profiles affect this system?
Wish I'd learned about this as a kid, what about you?
