Brain Damage

Marijuana is psychoactive because it stimulates certain brain receptors, but it does not produce toxins that kill them (like alcohol), and it does not wear them out as other drugs may. There is no evidence that marijuana use is a cause of brain damage. Studies by Dr. Robert Heath claimed the contrary in experiments on monkeys, but Heath's work has been sharply criticized by the Institute of Medicine and the National Academy of Sciences on three primary counts:

its insufficient sample size (only four monkeys),
its failure to control experimental bias, and its misidentification of normal monkey brain structure as "damaged".

A far superior experiment by the National Center for Toxicological Research (NCTR) involving 64 rhesus monkeys that were exposed to daily or weekly doses of marijuana smoke for a year found no evidence of structural or neurochemical changes in the brains of rhesus monkeys. Studies performed on actual human populations will confirm these results, even for chronic marijuana users (up to 18 joints per day) after many years of use. In fact, following the publication of two 1977 JAMA studies, the American Medical Association (AMA) officially announced its support for the decriminalization of marijuana.

Contrary to a 1987 television commercial sponsored by the Partnership for a Drug-Free America (PDFA), marijuana does not "flatten" brain waves either. In the commercial, a normal human brain wave was compared to what was supposedly the (much flatter) brain wave of a 14-year-old high on marijuana. It was actually the brain wave of a coma patient. PDFA lied about the data, and had to pull the commercial off of the air when researchers complained to the television networks.

In reality, marijuana has the effect of slightly increasing alpha-wave activity. Alpha waves are generally associated with meditative and relaxed states which are, in turn, often associated with human creativity.
it may not cause brain damage, but it could lead to short term memory loss.

when i smoked, i would listento people, then within that very day, i would have forgotten key points to which what was said, important or not. kinda like selective hearing.

i don't smoke now, and i remember shit a lot better than i did before.

it doesn't cause brain damage, it just causes people to be forgetful to remembering key points in which things that may have been important to the fellow person, and the effects of mary causes one to easily forget, due to the relaxing, munchies, notgivingafuck, etc.


i don't find anything wrong with it, i mean, its not like its hurting anymore. and besides, legalizing it could just boost the economy up, but since the gov't can't find a way to tax it, its keeping it from being legal. but truth of the matter being, i bet the gov't is probably taking what have been from tickets/major busts and easily putting back into the economy and then keeping what ever profit is made from it, on top of whatever fines and shit people are getting nailed with.
i think that there is VERY FEW true cops still left, most of them are probably crooked as fuck cause of their position thinking they can get away with anything or that they "are the law".
man fuck the police, and burn it down bitches!
smoke a blunt and tell the po-po to go fuck with the guy robbing the bank, you're just chillin on the park bench.
