Answer 7

-- marijuana kills brain cells -- is based on research done during the second Reefer Madness Movement. A study attempted to show that marijuana smoking damaged brain structures in monkeys. However, the study was poorly performed and it was severely criticized by a medical review board. Studies done afterwards failed to show any brain damage, in fact a very recent study on Rhesus monkeys used technology so sensitive that scientists could actually see the effect of learning on brain cells, and it found no damage.

But this was Reefer Madness II, and the prohibitionists were looking around for anything they could find to keep the marijuana legalization movement in check, so this study was widely used in anti-marijuana propaganda. It was recanted later.

(To this day, the radical anti-drug groups, like P.R.I.D.E. and Dr. Gabriel Nahas, still use it -- In fact, America's most popular drug education program, Drug Abuse Resistance Education, claims that marijuana ``can impair memory perception & judgement by destroying brain cells.'' When police and teachers read this and believe it, our job gets really tough, since it takes a long time to explain to children how Ms. Jones and Officer Bob were wrong.)

The truth is, no study has ever demonstrated cellular damage, stupidity, mental impairment, or insanity brought on specifically by marijuana use -- even heavy marijuana use. This is not to say that it cannot be abused, however.

No, it does not kill brain cells. In fact, it has been proven to stimulate the growth of brain cells in certain regions of the brain. The human body produces natural internal cannabinoids and the brain has receptors specifically for them. See Marijuana and the Brain at http://www.druglibrary.org/s******r/hemp...

The largest study of the health effects of cannabis to date was done by Kaiser Permanente. They studied the health records of 65,000 patients over a number of years. They found no significant differences between the health histories of people who used cannabis and those who did not. http://www.druglibrary.org/crl/aging/sid...

These findings are consistent with the findings of every major government commission report that has studied the subject in the last 100 years. See Major Studies of Drugs and Drug Policy at http://druglibrary.org/s******r/Library/...
