Two common reactions to smoking marijuana are: laughing at everything and getting really, really into eating food. I call it "Seth Rogen Syndrome." While some may claim this is just a pot stereotype or a self-fulfilling exaggeration, there's actual science behind both claims. Studies have shown that marijuana increases senses like taste and scent, literally making food taste better. As far as a heightened tendency to laugh goes, marijuana is known to elevate and isolate your perception, as well as provide a heightened level of confusion, which some researchers believe leads to a more jolly mood. Which naturally leads to barrels of laughs, all around. 10. Most people that smoke pot are potheads
With marijuana becoming a bigger part of mainstream American culture, more people are trying it than ever before... but that doesn't mean we are turning into a nation of full-blown Lebowskis. Only about 6 million of the 30 million who reported using marijuana in the past year use it on a daily (or frequent, meaning "almost daily") basis.
