Marijuana harms brain?

[tylerdurden6]

I was talking with this guy who doesn't toke himself but is very repectful towards tokers and he told me that he believes based on observations of his friends that pot causes permanent or long lasting (weeks) "slowing of the mind" and decreased mental capacity. He really got me thinking, could he be right? I was wondering if you guys feel that way, cuz sometimes i could almost swear that i thought clearer in the past.

There's a recent study (check out PubMed) that says that marijuana protects the brain. Most plant chemicals are protective. Alcohol, however, kills brain cells.

alcohol isnt growable, it doesnt grow, it is the result of decomposition, it is not a chemical or compound that you can find naturally growing, it has no life.

Yeah alcohol is a waste product from yeast, a toxin that the yeast wants to get rid of.

Smoking cannabis led to brain damage to me once. I was smoking a joint and this cop hit me in the head with his belly-club. I was dizzy for days, but it wasnt nothing that a good "hit" of medicinal cannabis couldnt take care of.

I then proceeded to my box of alphabet cereal where i spelled out the word "cops", and ate them. Thanks to my quick actions i saved others from the same fate and got rid of the local police force.

dai*ma :thumbsup:

hahahahaha :dance: you're sooo poetic all the time, how do you manage?

Weed doesn't damage your brain as much as television does ditch the tube, get with the herb.

Blow up your tv
Throw away your paper
Move to the country
Build you a home
Plant a lil cannabis
eat a lot of peaches
and try to find your truths
on your own.

dai*ma :dance: Thats how :thumbsup:
It can grow in a window box
It can grow in your yard
It's only a plant
It cant be that hard :stoned:

Yo guyz! Weed hasb't been causing me any problems, but I'm not a heavy smoker. I toke once or twice a week to be on the safe side. I know people who have started to mess their head up quite a bit from smokin wed. My mate knows this one dude who paranoia so bad he gets really anxious and worried if someone he doesn't know knocks on his door. And one of my dealers is real paranoid from smokin' too much and always worried about being caught by policevand I once texted him on my mate's phone to sort us something out and he got really paranoid 'coz he didn't remember the person who owned the phone, so sent me a text to be on the safe side. He aksed my mate who he was, what he looked like and shit like that, incase he was like some kinda undercover cop or somethin'. But I would be just as worried in his shoes anyway. But I reassured him. Sometimes paranoia can be a mixture of shit on your mind and smokin' too much weed. But the amount of damage caused by weed has all got to do with how much you smoke and how often. But convincing yourself that your coming to harm from weed too much can mess your head up too. I know that from experience whe I had depression. Once I realised I wasn't smoking enough to cause any serious harm, I was calm about it and I feel fine about it all now. But if you're worried, you could always cut down or take a break. Peace out
