I've heard that low doses preferentially increase dopamine in the prefrontal cortex - also increasing serotonergic / noradrenergic function.
Marijuanna also contains a compound called cannabidol which has antipsychotic effects.
The association between psychiatric disorders and marijuanna has not been conclusively shown one way or another. I.e. some researchers propose that cannabis may actually have mood stabilizing effects.
