Replying to Marijuana does not kill brain cells

Much to the contrary of everyones beliefs, marijuana does NOT kill brain cells. 

Here is what marijuana does do to the brain.



Recently found within the last 6 years of so were cannaboid receptors in the brain.  Cannaboid receptors are similar to opiate receptors and so on, they allow cannaboid cells to naturally fuse into the brain and help with the process of breaking down thc cells and other cannaboid cells.  Essentially this means that our brains over thousands of years of evolution have developed a natural process to help with the intake of cannaboids.  Because there are natural receptors for these cells, they do not have to resort to finding other places within the brain to store themselves which results in damaged or lost brain cells. 

So why have people always though pot kills brain cells and is bad for your brain?  Because although it may not directly kill brain cells, it does have a significant effect on a very key part of your brain; the hippocampus.  The hippocampus plays a major role in our short term memory and also with spatial navigation.  Located within the hippocampus are the cannaboid receptors that over time, can become damaged due to to much intake of cannaboids, mainly thc, and become damaged.  Once these receptors are damaged they then affect the hippocampus. 


So wtf does all this shit mean?   It means that if you smoked every day for 10+ years straight, the ONLY noticeable affects would be your short term memory. 


Weed is fucking harmless.  The affects from one joint compared to the affects of 5-6 beers dont even compare.  Alcohol is so much worse for your body than pot is.  So smoke on smokers.
