Cannabis FACT links...

[Frivolous248]

On another forum, someone said "its scientifically proven marijuana kills brain cells" and knowing this is obviously wrong, I posted otherwise, but of course I back my posts up. At first I was like "ugh now I'm gonna have to find a reliable source to prove this moron wrong" but luckily I found a good site right off the bat.

So posts any links you may have that are a good source for FACTS about cannabis, preferably reliable sources.

This was the link I found,

http://paranoia.lycaeum.org/marijuana/facts/mj-health-mythology.html

and of course there is always erowid.org

So if you know any sites, or just a site with an article, post it.

weed does kill brain cells, but theyre useless cells. Glioma cells just stay in your brain, and dont effect your intelligence at all. they are the only cells that can turn cancerous in your brain. so its good not to have them

you have two types of cells in your brain, neurons and glia. neurons transmit nerve impulses using neurotransmitters. glial cells are support cells. they provide nutrition and produce myelin for the neurons. you have about ten times as many glial cells as neurons.
glioma is a cancer caused by a mutation in glial cells. THC has been shown to inhibit growth of these cancer cells. THC has never been shown to cause damage to any healthy brain cells.
