"Pot fries brain cells."

I hear this crap a lot from [basically] close-minded people, and...scientifally theres no base for this right?

i sure hope not :jointsmile: but seriously this is a load of horeshit right?

it doesn't make any differance to me i'm totally mental anyway:woohoo::yippee::bigsmoke:

scientifically, there was only one test ever done that suggests pot does kill brain cells, but this test was done in mice that were INJECTED with almost pure thc nearly 6 times a day. This test was part of the "Reefer Madness" movement and was paid for by goverment.

Pot does not kill fry brain cells and even if it did I think there have been new studies that show that humans can make new brain cells so its all good.

dude,, i have been smokeing for 17 years, and i still outsmart genius motherfuckers,,, its all about your own intelligence... and your own confidence

Now, I've been smoking for awhile now, and if pot really did kill braincells, I'd be one STUPID ass motherfucker. But I'm not. Quite the contrary.

I have been smokin pot for 18 yrs and I function no problem ... :S5:
As a matter of fact I think I am smarter! :S2:
Blaze on :joint1::)

i also hear this shit all the time from people who are closed mind idiots who don't give a shit about anybody who doesint think the same way they do,

i actualy got into an arguement about this exact subject last night with this close minded bitch, i told her all the facts and how everyday you kill hunderates of thousands of brains just from everday life and that your brain generates more brain cells once old ones die, and she still said that weed kills like millions of brain cells and that if you smoke it eventualy you will be come brain dead, so i asked her to give me some proof to back up the bullshit she was saying and she said this "i dont have to prove you they tought me all about it in d.a.r.e and in school and they tell you about it on t.v" :wtf::eek::jawdropper::S4::rolleyes::rolleyes:, im never talking to another highschool kid again, o wait that would meen i would have to stop talking to almost everyone here :D

Here's what I say in response to being told it kills brain cells:

I tell them, well, it kills glioma cells, but glioma cells cause brain cancer so that's not really a bad thing. As for any other brain cell, the only study I've seen was the glioma one and that was on rats, so unless you can show me your proof I'm not interested.

<_< That last part generally ticks a few people off :thumbsup:

Actually THC, cannabidiol, and most of the other cannabiniods in cannabis, if not all, are neuroprotective antioxidants. The National Institutes of Health states this in a 2007 research paper, as do various other research papers. Alcohol will kill brain cells, and cannabis can help to protect your brain cells from such damage. If anything in cannabis kills brain cells, it would be the carbon monoxide from burning it, but most people don't burn much, and cigarette smoking will of course produce much more carbon monoxide, as tobacco smokers need to smoke a lot more. Car engine exhaust is probably much more dangerous as well.
