"Ever had a joint and felt like you could understand people on a whole other level? Science would back you up. People who smoke weed officially “have more empathy” than everyone else, according to a new study in the Journal of Neuroscience Research.
Researchers at the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México compared the brain activity of regular weed smokers with the rest of us, and found that their anterior cingulate (the region linked to empathy) was particularly active. In effect, this made the stoners more capable of sensing others’ feelings, and better able to feel someone else’s emotional state within their own body. "
