First, I'd like to say that these psychiatrists were obviously the typical "head shrinkers."

The test was on "a group that smoked at least five joints daily for at least the past 10 years (and, on average, 20 years)." Ha ha! I wouldn't be surprised if 5 joints a day for 20 years might shrink your hippcampus a bit. Cute little tiny hippo! That's a buttload of weed for a very long time!

What would happen if you drank five beers a day for 20 years? Five cups of coffee a day for 20 years? Five hamburgers a day? Five donuts? Anything taken to extreme for long periods of time is a bad idea.

Smoking does kill brain cells, but only the weak ones...

I thought it only blocked receptors in the neuron

Every time a bong clears, a brain cell gets its wings!

I was only joking about, "Smoking does kill brain cells, but only the weak ones... "

Let me explain. It's a joke because some people think smoking kills brain cells. So you take that idea and juxtapose it against the idea of Darwinian natural selection. You say it DOES kill brain cells, but ONLY THE WEAK ONES. So the implication is that it increases the overall health of the brain by weeding out the weak brain cells. See how funny that is now that we've dissected it? It's a joke! No? Still not funny? Well, nevermind then....

Have you ever smoked WAY TOO MUCH weed, or drank a shot too many of green dragon, or ate an extra brownie, and then thought, Oh no! My legs are really long! My arms are so short! My hands are HUGE! My feet are so far away! My brain is really, really small!

Well almost all of that is a physical hallucination, except for the part about your brain. Your brain actually is really, really smalll...

why do people fucking hate weed wtf is therre damn problem fuck them! its a fucking herb of the earth you douchbags , drinking coke aND shit is worse than smoking weed

[Twentyinches]

Granny had a lot of good info, 3 to 1! actually 3 to nothing because their study is ridiculous. If this were the case I wouldn't have to smoke anymore, because my brain would have been loooong gone by now :jointsmile:

[blisteringanomaly]

it's all just to keep the sheeple undercontrol, those who respect the fact hemp is food/fibre more than just a "drug"(weed, marijuana IT"S ALL THE SAME) are the ones that really have the gov scared cause we see straight through their web of lies.

This is abit off topic but, a few of our LED growers with some electronic knowledge should look into http://www.overunity.com/index.php?topic=4223.0;topicseen

Lighting LED's with 1 AA battery with what looks to be good brightness, i'm looking into it atm i've got a little bit of an odd circuit going but it lights LED's not very brightly but if i understand the slightest what the circuit is doing it will light them indefinately, something that needs to be looking into huge if we want to escape this police state, argue all you want that it's not here yet but if we were really free we'd beable to grow food without a license and GPS coords on where we are growing.

Sorry for the wall of text crit but that's just how i write.

I hope they're right this time! ... from now on, I will smoke more pot, to shrink my brain (my always expanding brain tends to build pressure in my skull) ... :S2:
