Smoking weed makes people more lazy

Saturday, April 5, 2014

Smoking weed makes people more lazy - Not only affects physical health, smoking weed it can also make people more lazy and reduces their motivation, according to recent research. Researchers found that cannabis can affect parts of the brain that deals with the problem of motivation.

Previous research shows that smoking pot can make a person become apathetic. While current research indicates that marijuana can destroy dopamine, the chemical in the brain that makes people excited.

The amount of dopamine in the brain called the striatum seen lower in cannabis users. This is what makes marijuana users become more lazy, because dopamine-related motivation in a person.

"The results of our findings explain why marijuana makes people just sit and not do anything. This could also explain why marijuana users did not seem to have the motivation to do anything," said Dr. Michael Bloomfield from Imperial College London, as reported by the Daily Mail.

Although this research was conducted on the users who experience strange sensations and feeling paranoid when using marijuana, but the researchers argue that these results also apply to marijuana users most. Even so, they will do more research to confirm these results.

Previous research found that marijuana users have a higher risk of mental illness associated with schizophrenia. It is believed to be related to the chemical dopamine that exist in the brains of cannabis users.

Recipe Lazy Mans Beef Stew

Tuesday, March 11, 2014

Youll learn as I roll out my recipes... I take shortcuts in my cooking.  Sure I love good food, but I also love quick food.  Getting the most deliciousness for my time is my goal.  When making a stew, there are a few things you can do to ensure a good, quality stew.  You should season the meat and brown it in a skillet.  You should peel the carrots before chopping them.  You should peel the potatoes too for a cleaner product.  You should use celery.  You should use beef broth for a richer flavor.  I didnt do any of these things.  I was lazy.  This is the Lazy Mans Beef Stew.  Prep time minimal.  Just throw a bunch of things into a pot and let it simmer.

Prep time:  10-15 minutes
Cook time:  2-3 hours (or more)

You can throw just about any vegetable into a stew.  Use anything youve got on hand.  Most of these are pretty standard for a stew, but I had some extra salsa lying around so I threw that in just for shits and giggles. 

Ingredients:
  • Stew beef (I used 2 pounds)
  • Potatoes
  • Onions
  • Garlic (5 cloves, chopped)
  • Mushrooms
  • Carrots
  • Mild Salsa
  • Butter (~2 tbsp)
  • Parsley
  • Salt (1 1/2 tsp)
  • Pepper
  • Water


Everything but the water.

I hope you can see the water level here.  This is all you need.  In fact I had a little too much.  I like my stew a little thicker.

This is how high the water level got by the time it heated up.  You can always add more.  Dont get carried away.

Let it simmer COVERED for at least 2 hours, easy peasy.  Once the beef reaches your desired level of tenderness, its done!

The finished product!! Yummayyyyyy!
And youre done!  Now you have a pot of beef stew to keep you warm for the winter.  Its delicious, nutrient-dense, and you only spent 10-15 minutes prepping it.  Enjoy!
