    Default Marijauna and driving...

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CfcRyruo91Y

    the speed channel did a test on the effects of driving while high.

    the results are not surprising to me at all.

    the end is the best part.

    Not much. A guy smokes some weed then drives. Does fairly well.

    Nothing special happens and potheads try to use the vid as some sort of justification.

    alcohol kills brain cells every time you get drunk. so does lack of oxygen when you take to big of a hit that and you cough up a lung. and just so you know alcohol is a drug to. do it in moderation or just say no .

    you have no idea what you talking about. infact you couldnt be more wrong.

    Myth: Pot kills brain cells
    Government experts now admit that pot doesn't kill brain cells. This myth came from a handful of animal experiments in which structural changes (not actual cell death, as is often alleged) were observed in brain cells of animals exposed to high doses of pot. Many critics still cite the notorious monkey studies of Dr. Robert G. Heath, which purported to find brain damage in three monkeys that had been heavily dosed with cannabis. This work was never replicated and has since been discredited by a pair of better controlled, much larger monkey studies, one by Dr. William Slikker of the National Center for Toxicological Research and the other by Charles Rebert and Gordon Pryor of SRI International. Neither found any evidence of physical alteration in the brains of monkeys exposed to daily doses of pot for up to a year. Some of these same Doctors have done recent studies about marijauna actaully killing possible cancerous cells therefore preventing cancer. Human studies of heavy users in Jamaica and Costa Rica found no evidence of abnormalities in brain physiology. Even though there is no evidence that pot causes permanent brain damage, users should be aware that persistent deficits in short-term memory have been noted in chronic, heavy marijuana smokers after 6 to 12 weeks of abstinence. It is worth noting that other drugs, including alcohol, are known to cause brain damage.

    The caveat: Your brain cells are dying all the time, and there's nothing particularly sinister about the effect of moderate smoking (tobacco, pot, etc.) on the natural attrition rate. If you're really into killing brain cells, alcohol is where it's at. In 100's of neurobiology studies brains taken from lifelong alcoholics were compared to a healthy brain, they were smaller, smoother, and visibly misshapen. Alcohol had literally eaten away much of the brain mass, more than a third in some cases.
