I'm in my 50's now, but when I was a teenager I smoked once or twice a week for a year or so. In my case, it did noticeable harm to my brain, as my senses, (vision, hearing ect) became permanently dulled and adversely effected. This happened to me pretty quickly the last few times I used, and it sent me into a deep depression at the time… I was 16 then, and I know for sure it was from the cannabis I smoked… The dullness never cleared up, and I just learned to live with it.
That's funny, another study recently claimed different areas of the brain were affected by long term chronic use. It all seems like BS. Everyones lied for decades and now you want to get all science on us? CRY WOLF!
But wiz khalifa started when 14 and he's still doing it none stop just make it legal and we'll see the it will help the government if they would tax it
Wish he would have mentioned if the effects on the amygdaloid and hippocampus were good or bad. Simply stating that it changed the structures and so could change the respectable performance is poor.
Truth is that a friend of mine after smoking too much weed (almost on a daily basis,and it was shitty weed too) he lost touch of reality, not completely, but he thought that every thing was made out of paper
Although it may sound terrifying, he just stopped smoking for a couple of weeks and everything went back to normal! Weed can turn out to be hazardous if abused, but it's not that big of a deal…
well unlike uncaring people like you, i for one want a healthy brain, i dont know about you but memory is important to me so if that means i stop smoking weed then im going to stop, hopefully more research will be done
Maybe some people are affected differently but you can't blame marijuana for this, maybe it's the THC that is effecting him but even if that is the case then I recommend getting a completely CBD stain which in the long run can help your son. Psychosis is where you can't not tell what is reality which can only be caused by a hallucinogen such as shrooms so I'm thinking that your son may have taken something similar to that. Just trying to help
Actually you can get 20%-30% THC medicinally too and on the street the only difference between the two is that medicinal marijuana is checked thoroughly, unlike street drugs where you have no idea where it came from or what chemicals were used on it.
How come there isnt more studies like this? I mean… the truth, both the negative and/or positive effects from smoking cannabis should be aviable for everyone. Take one look on google for instance, its either some douchebag trying to tell you how bad it is, or some pothead promoting it's good effects. Why cant there be more reliable and objective sources so i can make my own conclution?
One important thing to note: When studies are done on Marijuana, the THC levels are typically very low (1% – 3%). These levels are consistent with medical marijuana. Marijuana that is typically purchased from "street vendors" or "dealers" typically deal with THC levels ranging from 20% to 30%.
This fact is often overlooked or omitted by both researchers and the public in general.

Large scale study with proper controls

I love marijuana
But, Willie Nelson is so stupid.
Marijuana creates new brain cell read it here! http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn8155-marijuana-might-cause-new-cell-growth-in-the-brain.html#.VAJ25_ldUTA

sO…Q: " Does marijuana effect the brain? " A: "" We don't know…"
Where do I sign up
effect*
I like this guy
Here's my question: can it help with bipolar and autism?
For a more recent up to date study, take a look at this –http://thechart.blogs.cnn.com/2014/04/16/casual-marijuana-use-may-damage-your-brain/
He gathered 13 studies on men. Why not woman?
Discovery : bullshitting
im not a doctor, so pardon my ignorance. but i heard that cannabis use actually stimulates brain cells.
weed makes your brain slow people i no are fucked from smoking this stuff loool
So basically…The studies did not yield any useful information
Alcohol has no effect on one's brain besides the fact that it is addicting @raticida123456
and you know how the alcohol destoys the brain?… and it's legal!
i dont know what hes saying can someone sum it up for stoners

You only have yourself to blame for your IQ. Marijuana stimulates brain cells it doesn't kill them. Don't blame the weed

More Dr.'s need to be like this guy; honest, straight forward, and not trying to cover up the facts which most do.
