What percentage of potheads do you know are uber smart? I know a whole bunch of deadbeat potheads who can't motivate themselves out of a wet paper bag, though they can philosophize all night. Sure they're smart, but they can't do anything with the smarts anymore.

We have billions and billions of brain cells, smoking a cigarette burns just as many cells as a joint. Booze for the same matter.

I have a friend from way back in high school, and he is a daily pot smoker. He is highly intelligent 180 IQ thats recorded, and is also a standing member of Mensa. Sure he is a surf bum that would rather hit the beaches then work. But he would rather do what he does then sit in some lap crunching numbers, or discovering the key to life, or some new cure of some disease from bug guts or whatever some of these brainiacs are doing.

Marijuana does not kill brain cells:
from http://www.norml.org/index.cfm?Group_ID=3475

Myth: Pot Kills Brain Cells

Government experts now admit that pot doesn't kill brain cells.1 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.2 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 Research3 and the other by Charles Rebert and Gordon Pryor of SRI International.4 Neither found any evidence of physical alteration in the brains of monkeys exposed to daily doses of pot for up to a year. Human studies of heavy users in Jamaica and Costa Rica found no evidence of abnormalities in brain physiology.5 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.6 It is worth noting that other drugs, including alcohol, are known to cause brain damage.

A few years ago at the hospital I was told that the human brain is one of the two organs that can partialy regenerate so I gues it makes new cells also?

TheDoc · 05-23-2004, 04:47 PM

I used to smoke, at one point very heavy, don't anymore..

I wasn't a lazy smoker, could cook, clean, work, etc.. While blazed out of my mind.

First time I touched a drug I was 23, I worked just as hard then I do now. If anything the weed showed me that I can relax, take my time and enjoy everything more rather than thinking I have to always push hard just to get burnt out quicker.

Drinking and smoking fall in the same line. I can have a few beers, not be drunk, be able to work and be relaxed.. Or a few hits, get a tad stoned, relaxed and work just fine.

Weed doesn't make people stupid, most people already are stupid.

If you ask your "stupid pot heads" what other drugs they have done, you will quickly find out MOST have done hard drugs. Hard drugs burn your brain..

aimeesweet · 05-23-2004, 05:16 PM

Most negative information circulated about marijuana is government propaganda...
