I've heard some shit about weed destroying brain cells and making you less motivated.

Is this true?

no its far from the truth.There are many articles that suggest cannabis may actually stimulate brain cell growth....do some research on google or watch documentaries such as "the union"

no, it doesnt destroy brain cells, thats booze. while it may impede some communications between the brain and the body..thats also the reason it gets us high.

i know too many brilliant and successful people who love a good toke sesh. the stereotype of the dumb, lazy pothead is my most loathed.

i guess if you smoke blunts every waking hour of your miserable life then, yeah, your ass will be dumb and lazy.. but what % of potheads pursue cannabis to this extent?

Ronald Reagan used to say marijuana kills brain cells. He was wrong. The study back in the 70s he based that on was flawed. The researcher strapped monkeys into chairs, put gas masks on their faces and pumped in the smoke so strong and for so long that animals got brain damage from the lack of oxygen. So, this Dr. Heath, the scientist who did the study, was he really that incompetent? I don't think so. He knew that the US government would only allow and pay for studies that told them what they wanted to hear - that marijuana was bad in some way - so he rigged the study. He purposely brain-damaged those animals to get his funding.

Oh, by the way. Alcohol, if over-used, *DOES* cause brain damage.

it does not kill brain cells that is actually propaganda as mentioned above, also mentioned is the study that shows that in fact marijuana actually creates brain cells.

it does effect memory but it is only memories that are not needed, the same memory that you lose when you go to sleep at night in the state of sleep that comes before R.E.M - your brain forgets unnecessary information such as the color of a strangers tie that you passed by in a busy train station - it is the natural way that our brain organizes thoughts.

so unless you are intoxicated at the time than there is no effect on your memory that isn't already happening naturally.
