Best Answer

In low doses a synthetic form of THC has been found to act as an antidepressant by enhancing serotonin levels in the brain, but at high doses it can apparently worsen depression and other mental disorders.

What will too much serotonin cause?

I am assuming you are referring to the use of ecstasy (MDMA) which releases serotonin and is an SSRI (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor). You will feel awesomely happy and empathetic with other people but if this is done too much you will become intellectually slow (e-tard). I'm not sure the mechanism of this retardation because it hasn't been extensively studied but its effects can be seen at any rave. I think it has to do with serotonin toxicity and probably at too high of levels will kill brain cells. Not sure about that though.
