It's true, girls. Marijuana affects the brain. In fact, marijuana clouds the brain and makes it hard for the cells inside the brain to send messages to each other. This is bad because that is how different areas of the brain communicate with each other. It also makes it hard for messages to travel from the brain to the rest of the body. Here's what happens: The chemicals in marijuana travel through the body (in the blood, actually) and gather on nerve cells in the brain called receptors (pronounced "ree-SEPT-ors). The chemical THC changes the way the receptors work, and my teacher said it's definitely a change for the worse. One area of the brain that is most harmed by THC is the hippocampus. It is the hippocampus's job to help us remember things on a short-term basis, like the name of this Web site (It's Girl Power!, of course) or what you had for breakfast this morning. So basically, when THC gets to the receptors of the hippocampus, our short-term memory suffers, and that is not fun. The chemicals in marijuana (including THC) also damages the cerebral cortex (pronounced "sa-REE-brill core-tex"), the part of the brain that controls thinking and concentrating. I don't know about you, girls, but, marijuana is something I know I am going to stay away from.

Girls, (the immune system), this is one of the most important systems in our bodies. This is the system that keeps our bodies free from harmful things. For example, I am allergic to cats. Well, my health teacher told me today that I am really allergic to the skin cells on cats, and not the whole cat. Anyway, cats shed their skin cells all the time, and they are so tiny we can't recognize skin cells from regular house dust. When I walk into a house where cats live, I start to sneeze immediately. This is my body's immune system going into action. My immune system knows that my body sees the skin cells of cats as foreign and that I shouldn't breath them in. So, my body reacts by creating mucus. The skin cells that my immune system doesn't want in my body stick to the mucus and then I sneeze. You see, it is my immune system's job to keep my body clean and free from things that are harmful.

When you smoke marijuana, you make your immune system weaker. When it is weaker, it is not as able to stop allergies, pollens, bacteria, or viruses from making you very sick.

The bottom line is that marijuana isn't cool; it's harmful, just like all of the other drugs my health teacher told me about. Being a teen today is tough enough without adding alcohol, tobacco, or illicit drugs into the mix.

Okay, Girls, toke up!!!

I always find these studies amusing! You can do anything in MODERATION and be productive. They base their studies on someone that smokes an ounce a day or drinks a quart a day. Of course their going to be fucked up! Didn't see any mention of coffee or donuts though! What happens to the human psychy and productivity if you weigh 500#s from your ass to the floor? Use and abuse shouldn't be put into a general catagory! :thumbsup:

haha my question is what was beachguy doing surfing teen girlpower websites in the first place

[beachguy in thongs]

That's a secret. Ok. So I'm a member. I've been getting pretty drastic in my attempts at finding a new girlfriend, lately.

I copied and pasted that, I still didn't see anything that they based their decisions on. They're not even talking about people who smoke an ounce a week, they're talking about kids who grew up with no families, on the streets, who have already been living dirty. I just hope that people realize that there are no references, and if so, they're not recent (pass three years).

Maybe he's got the same idea as R Crumb had in his Snatch Comics drawing (Aug. 1969 First Edition) - click on thumbnails below!
