We all know someone like this..

[memoryburner]

i have a "friend" who always is trying to tell me weed is bad and kills braincells (wich it doesnt) and that its a waste of money. but when i have some he will steal from my stash, and bogart the pipe. do u guys know anyone like this?

[LuckyNiner]

Yeah. It's an odd bipolar-ish sort of thing. They're trying to overcome their upbringing..the brainwashing their parents and our society laid on them is why they speak out against it, but when they do smoke it, they can't help themselves. That's why we need to take it upon ourselves as responsible stoners to educate the masses. Explain to your friend the truth, show him some websites like erowid.org, and he will understand. Then smoke him out.

or i can make him pay since hes smoked to what equals about a dub from my stash while im asleep.

Give me his phone number. I'll call him up. Marijuana is a perfect median substance, and people who try to disagree piss me off because they don't know what the fuck they're talking about. Especially this individual. A hypocrite: a person who professes beliefs and opinions that he does not hold. Tell him to become a crackhead and then tell you that marijuana is a bad herb...and also tell him not to steal from you again.

imo everyone should be shown erowid in health class :thumbsup:

Marijuana DOES kill brain cells. So does waking up in the morning. It doesn't kill a significant amount of brain cells.

i strongly disagree with that... i dont think it kills brain cells... maybe just freezes them... orsummtin

Weed does kill your brain cells,I know that for a fact.

[Captain Jack Sparrow]

I think your friend needs a nice, good, smack in the face + a lecture on the beauty that is marijuana from LIP! :thumbsup:

[memoryburner]

Weed does kill your brain cells,I know that for a fact.

no u dont. they tested it on various animals, even using 3 times the human amount of THC and it didnt show any signs of killed braincells or anything. so stfu noob.

[Nochowderforyou]

No, cannabis doesn't kill hoards of brain cells. It just kind of, slows them down, the whole function of the brain and brain cells slow down. But breathing ooutside air in kills hundreds of braincells. Taking a shower or shitting kills brain cells. The more we age, the more our brains slow down and die. Everyday your brain dies a little. That's why so many old people are in homes because thorughout their life, like ours, brain cells just die off naturally.

Nothing to be alarmed about though. As long as you can support yourself and live a life of your own, then you should be allowed to smoke it, but that's another story. ;)

[hiawath]

Yeah it does kill braincells thats what makes us stoned :stoned:

Theses kind of people make me mad :mad:
i know too many

MYTH: MARIJUANA KILLS BRAIN CELLS. Used over time, marijuana permanently alters brain structure and function, causing memory loss, cognitive impairment, personality deterioration, and reduced productivity.

FACT: None of the medical tests currently used to detect brain damage in humans have found harm from marijuana, even from long term high-dose use. An early study reported brain damage in rhesus monkeys after six months exposure to high concentrations of marijuana smoke. In a recent, more carefully conducted study, researchers found no evidence of brain abnormality in monkeys that were forced to inhale the equivalent of four to five marijuana cigarettes every day for a year. The claim that marijuana kills brain cells is based on a speculative report dating back a quarter of a century that has never been supported by any scientific study.

Try searching on why we get high. I can tell you, it's not from our brain cells dying. :rolleyes:

[Nochowderforyou]

Better yet, here's your answer.

cannabis has what are called psychoactive chemicals, the main one being "tetrahydrocannabinol" or THC for short. When you smoke a joint, the THC goes into your lungs, then into your heart which pumps it into your bloodstream which then takes it directly to your brain. When you smoke marijuana, it only takes a few minutes for the THC to get to your brain, whereas if you eat it, it would take a little longer because it has to pass through your digestive system first. Once it's in your brain, the THC activates what are called "receptors", and gives you the feeling of being high. In short, marijuana changes the physical and chemical balance in your brain and this is what people refer to as a "high".

If you're going argue about true "facts" of yours, at least back them up. :)

[rottenPauL]

I heard thet our brain has receptors that r made to match only with the cannabinoids as THC and CBD, like our braind was meant to have those psychoactives there in the first place :D Its like we SHOULD smoke marijuana, cuz it replaces something tha should be in our brains

[rottenPauL]

I guess we know more about space than marijuana :D:D:D:D

imo everyone should be shown erowid in health class :thumbsup:
LOL! Best post of the thread.

[memoryburner]

Yeah it does kill braincells thats what makes us stoned :stoned:

:mad: :mad: :mad:

apparantly you are a beginner in the world of marijuana. u just got ur ass handed to you, yet u still think it kills braincells. thats not what gets you high, the chemical THC in the cannabis gets you high. so come back in a year when you actually have your information straight bitch.

[spiked666killer]

Memory there was no need to flame anyone for lack of info. You where new at one point in time. Dont blame others for some of the mistakes you have made possibly before in the past.

[memoryburner]

ok..sorry...but still, he shouldnt persist to make a point that isnt correct

[Pride]

Chill, I agree with him. THC gets you high but being high also means being dumbed down.
And with just enough thc in your system, you're gonna feel burned out/dumbed down/slowed down.
Indeed the stuff that makes you dumb (thc) is the good stuff that gets you high.

[memoryburner]

wait..how did this become a talk about THC and all that. it went from talking about my friend...to discussing weed. lol.

[memoryburner]

i know. also, about ur signature juicy, i wanna try shrooms also

[ronjohn420]

no u dont. they tested it on various animals, even using 3 times the human amount of THC and it didnt show any signs of killed braincells or anything. so stfu noob.

okay before this becomes a "know it all thread"

LOOK GODDAMN IT

anything you "smoke" causes brain cell loss, as well as drinking alot of water, running, holding your breath for more than a minute, beating your dick, studing for your college m-cat exam

any of the above cause cell loss... cell loss is normal as long as it is not in substantial numbers......

these are facts... so unless any of you are vaporizing, eating, or sticking it up your ass for a colon high...... JUST STFU

why do you feel a need to call everyone out like that, youre a noob also... i dont see anyone calling you a bitch,

and thc doesnt kill anything, but turning to to smoke does

maybe you need your ass handed to you

The curious thing about the brain, is that it contains receptors that are specifically for THC molecules... At least from what I've got so far, I'm still learning all this complicated brain physiology stuff on my own.

Anyways, THC just binds itself to those receptors, and also binds itself to receptors meant for other chemicals, such as anandamide receptors. It doesn't destroy the receptors or the neurotransmitters, just sends off extra signals.

Of course, by doing this, it does a lot of stuff to your brain, both desired and not, so along with the euphoric effects, your short-term memory suffers somewhat (But not long-term memory). It also causes you to become hungry, among other things. But there is no evidence that cannabis causes permanent brain damage, if even any permanent effects at all.

They did a test on rats, and concluded that the amount of cannabis needed to be toxic was so high, no human being, and possibly living thing at all, could consume enough by itself for it to be toxic. So it's also not lethal.

^^ If you didn't understand what I was talking about there, you shouldn't be coming in here telling me cannabis kills brain cells. You have to learn the facts before you can start talking.

Maybe hes joking, sometimes my friends are like you wanna smoke this blunt? and im like no man i stay away from that shit...you know as a joke but then we smoke.
