Ok, had a long discussion/argument with my dad today about why I shouldn't be smoking. His points were its addictive, it leads to other drugs, and its bad for your brain. When I asked him to elaborate he made some vague references to THC receptors in your brain getting stretched or moved apart. I don't remember his exact wording, but the essence was cannabis after long term use changes your brain resulting in longer distances for information (or possibly neurons) having to travel.

I asked him for research on the subject, but I doubt I will ever get any. However, not wanting to totally brush aside what he said without looking into it, I spent some time searching the net for every kind of brain damage possible from credible and non pro-weed biased research (mostly government). I couldn't find anything on the subject, but I wasn't really sure what I was looking for. Does anyone know what he is referring to or better yet have research proving or disproving what he is saying?
