Soft in all the wrong places. Take with a strong tea.
Summary
This article appears to be a satirical or humorous take on marijuana's effects on the brain, presenting exaggerated and comical scenarios rather than factual scientific information. The content describes absurd brain reactions like the brain stem 'becoming furious at stench and banging on the skull,' forgetting things, and walking to grocery stores in pajamas at odd hours. Despite the serious-sounding title and context about health experts calling for understanding marijuana's mental health effects, the actual content is clearly parody.
