[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And no, cannabis doesn’t make you stupid.[b] The disruptions to memory are to short term memory and retreat with abstinence - no permanent damage occurs[/b].

So, just be clear  - the [i][b]BRAIN DAMAGE[/b][/i]  - caused by recreational THC use, is “only temporary”.

Got it.  :roll: [/quote]

You're so funny.

ALL drugs alter brain chemistry, including Big Pharma drugs and ESPECIALLY alcohol, which shrinks the brain over time and absolutely causes permanent, devastating brain damage in heavy users.

The short term memory formation issues related to cannabis are ONLY seen in heavy users, and retreat entirely with abstinence. People who take a gummy daily to sleep or for anxiety alleviation don't have brain issues from that. People who smoke a joint or three at the weekend don't have brain damage. Some of the highest intelligence people I have known during the acquiring of four university degrees, two of them advanced and one a professional degree, were casual users of cannabis.

Cannabis is FAR better for brain and body than alcohol, and most of you who are REEFER MADNESS on this board think nothing of swilling that poison on the regular - a poison that is linked to literally 200 diseases and approximately 3 million deaths yearly worldwide.

You cannot OD on cannabis. You cannot die from cannabis use. You can very easily die from alcohol use, in multiple ways including alcohol poisoning itself - something that takes far too many young lives every year in this country. But yeah, Puritans, keep modeling anti-cannabis alcohol swilling to your kiddos. Hope they make it through college unscathed.

1) I don’t really drink alcohol all that much either, so that’s also not a concern for me. Nor did I ever suggest alcohol was a safe alternative. It’s not, and you’re attempting to change the subject and deflect.

2) just to reiterate: the [b]BRAIN DAMAGE[/b] caused by cannabis use “[i]is only temporary[/i]”.

I appreciate you making that clear. That it’s only temporary brain damage. I think a lot of people will be relieved to hear that, and be encouraged that one day, they might recover to their pre-cannabis level of intellect and recall ability. Assuming they’re ever able to stop using it in the first place.
