In other words, you're saying why wouldn't I want to be depedent on marijuana to produce these chemicals instead of allowing my brain to? It's the dependency issue, man! If marijuana were free and abundant alongside the roads and in our forests, I would have no disapproval for being dependent on the plant, but it costs! And it's not so cheap at that. It's illegal. People go to jail for having an eighth on them in Texas. There's too much baggage that goes along with getting high, but I hope that my point is clear to you that I would love to give my brain these chemicals at the cost of being dependent on it, while being high at the same time. I would love it...if it were free. But it can't be free. Either way, I'm losing something. I guess it just depends on what you value more? Your brain's natural ability or your enjoyment? And I might add that you can enjoy life without being high.

Also, I think you missed my point. It doesn't improve anything. Think of the plant as switching a particular region of your brain from auto-pilot into manual. Now in order for you to receive such chemicals you'd have to smoke marijuana, instead of having your brain do it on its own whenever something is learned, etc. And who knows? Marijuana may produce more of these chemicals than your brain does at a given time? There's only one thing, though. The memory of the human brain still remains the most mysterious process, so I suppose we won't know for sure if marijuana can enhance your ability to memorize information, thus improving your intelligence. Do some experimenting on your own. See what you discover.
