Health Science 101 Guidelines
Greetings! Welcome to Health Science.
Here's where we talk about the latest fad diets, the advantages of vegetarianism, the joy of exercise and good health. Like everywhere else at Tweb our decorum rules apply.
This is a place to exchange ideas and network with other health conscience folks, this isn't a forum for heated debate.

Originally posted by Paprika View PostI don't understand what you're getting at. Earlier, you said that "in other words, the brains were repairing themselves after 'casual' exposure" (bolding mine), to which my point that we don't know when growth occurred is pertinent.
When I was a teenager, I did my share of smoking pot. I wasn't a heavy user, but I partied now and then and was a casual smoker. From first hand experience I can tell you that I never felt smarter or better during those times. I became forgetful, lazy, and really didn't give a crap about school or anything else. It makes you feel nice and relaxed, but even after the high wears off, your senses and thoughts are still dulled for a few days afterward. So for someone who were to smoke "casually" every two or three days, it would be a permanent "hangover" of being a dull forgetful idiot even when not smoking.
I don't need a study to tell me MJ is bad for your brain. I experienced it.
