Interesting adawgj...tell me more about how thc (specificaly, (delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol) , enhances neurosynapses,,maybe it increases myelin sheaths or enhances the axons to send improved signals, let us not forget that THC is an exogenous agonist of G - protein CB1 receptors (canibinoid receptors) which produce the high but happen to also have a say in memory, concentration, timing, coordination, etc..

In fact this has been proven through research and experimentation, time and time again, this is why the up regulating of CB1 receptors via acquired responses such as disease, or drug use, can be overcame through the use of Marijuana...in other words,,the excitability due to down regulation of the cell can be "decreased" through the introduction of ThC into the presynaptic nerve terminal, where it occupies the CB1 G linked receptors to create a suppressed response, so you get reduced seizures..hence. why we have medicinal marijuana...This drug gets you high, it's awesome, no doubt,,it doesn't improve your concentration,your response time, your IQ, or your looks...but it makes you feel like it does...it's all relative,,,to everyone else you're in slow motion...

True story. When my buddies and I used to get high in college we inevitably made all these miraculous conclusions only to realize later when we were straight that our logic was either retarded or had already been discovered hundreds of years ago.
