Damn, Wall Sreet can't even read! Change is not the same as damage
This is total bullshit! I used pot for over 25 years and found none of what he says it does to your brain. All I got was pain relief from my 7 low back operations with 10 disc removed and have pain all the time since I stopped smoking it. Why did I stop? I stopped because of price. I grew up in the Vietnam days when pot was 15$ an ounce for Mexican and 35 for gold which was much better, but then came the 150.00 to 250.00 an ounce so now I'm stuck taking 30Mg of oxycodone and 15 mg of morphine a day just to help control the pain some what. I hate taking these drugs but I have no choice until Florida gets off their butt and comes up with medical. If they do I will go back to smoking it if I can afford it
Damage: : physical harm that is done to something or to someone's body : emotional harm that is done to someone : problems that are caused by a mistake, wrong action, etc. : bad or harmful effects on a situation, a person's reputation, etc.
Altered: verb past tense: altered; past participle: altered change or cause to change in character or composition, typically in a comparatively small but significant way.
Different: adjective not the same as another or each other; unlike in nature, form, or quality.
do a report on how many Over-The-Counter drugs and prescription drugs. meaning: how many have been recalled, how many fix the problem, how many have caused the problem, deadly side effects, problem causeing side effects, HOW DEADLY/HARMFUL THE DRUG IS IF OVER USED. mood causeing problem, physical effects, phycological effects.
"New Study?" How long has Mary Jane been around again? You would think these super smart people would know everything there is to know about her already. Smh…
What would be the first thing you would do if you were in the process of fundamentally changing America…. Allow people to smoke pot so they become distracted. This country needs citizens ready to make decisions that could effect our society for years. Grow up and deal with it!
This is such disgusting, desperate, and irresponsible journalism on part of the irrelevant wall street journal.
Reporting these poorly developed and overgeneralized "studies" on a sample size of 40, using buzz words like "marijuana cigarettes" and "brain altering" are the exact reason why print journalism is archaic and your desperate attempt at internet relevancy will fail.
Want to know what else changes "brain chemistry".. almost everything you put inside your body. All that coffee, caffeine, advil, and ALCOHOL all alter your brain's chemistry. So stop using these irresponsible fear mongering terms like "alters your brain chemistry" and "changes in regions of the brain" in attempts to vilify marijuana.
This channel just posted a video on "CEO'S FAVORITE COCKTAILS" How about you guys do an informative video on the inebriating and tremendously detrimental effects alcohol has on the brain and human body?

We know for a FACT that alcohol actually damages (not just might "change" or "alter") the brain so….?
Damage:
: physical harm that is done to something or to someone's body
: emotional harm that is done to someone
: problems that are caused by a mistake, wrong action, etc. : bad or harmful effects on a situation, a person's reputation, etc.
Altered:
verb
past tense: altered; past participle: altered
change or cause to change in character or composition, typically in a comparatively small but significant way.
Different:
adjective
not the same as another or each other; unlike in nature, form, or quality.
40 people is too small of a group, but the findings do warrant a real study.
SMOKING OF ANYTHING CAN CAUSE BRAIN DAMAGE!!!
Enough of this propaganda, it should be legalized and all the people in jail for it should be released and compensated
do a report on how many Over-The-Counter drugs and prescription drugs.

I figured potheads would come up with some excuse for these results.
Go talk about something USEFUL!!!
Weak story based on thin study. Don't expect Dr. Hans Breiter to persuade the federal government to reschedule marijuana for greater study.
That's not a study, you can fit that many people in a hash bar.
"New Study?" How long has Mary Jane been around again? You would think these super smart people would know everything there is to know about her already. Smh…
How many more studies do we need? Humans have been smoking weed for thousands of years. Isn't that study enough?
Funny how some pot users always run to the "look at alcohol" argument….
you suck WSJ
Studies show that anything the media says scientists believe 90 percent of people will… what percentage are you lol #StopLyingToThePeople
oh yeah, take a look at alcohol users
What would be the first thing you would do if you were in the process of fundamentally changing America…. Allow people to smoke pot so they become distracted. This country needs citizens ready to make decisions that could effect our society for years. Grow up and deal with it!
Sample? More like a sample of a sample.

Piss poor journalism.
