Marijuana's Effect on Memory and Brain Tissue Structure

[Go2Guy]

"....Researchers in Chicago observed the brains of teenagers who were heavy users of marijuana. In those individuals, memory-related structures in the brain appeared to shrink and collapse inward, possibly indicating a decrease in neurons"

Pot Use

 

[CyForPresident]

So? Its still fun.

 

[tim_redd]

What were we talking about?

 

[Cyclonepride]

We'll see more studies to keep the law enforcement/penal system money flowing

Does not the brain develop for a long time such as the early twenties? If one does marijuana, the best time to use is probably after the brain has developed.

 

[IowaStateClones]

Show me a substance that after using develops your brain more.

In other new, just out studies, cigarettes cause lung cancer and alcohol causes liver failure.

So don't be a heavy user....same as booze, supposedly

 

[Agclone91]

So, you're saying that pot has kills brain cells? Who'da thunk.

What is the point of this thread?

 

[Drive4cy]

Every action has consequences.

 

[cykocy]

So much fail here.

Hope we never cave and legalize this crap

I think the point of this thread is to say which poster everyone think has smoked the most pot, based solely on this study.

Clones21.

 

[CtownCyclone]

You..you...human paraquat!

Have you not had a bong hit tonight? Chill man, everything's groooovey.

The study has some statements I have not seen in previous research journals that indicates more neural damage than I thought; especially the comments about decreasing neurons and the related structural appearance to "schizophrenia-related brain abnormalities".

I'll play along.
