can you quote where I said that was?
You quotes the study's findings and laughed your arse off (three times). That indicates to me you're dismissive of the study.

What about eating it? I prefer edibles these days

I would not consider "significant abnormalities in two vital brain regions important in motivation and emotion" as natural.
Study only looked at 20 people, and noted that they had no marijuana related problems. Also it's very hard to infer causality when they didn't map the brain before use started. For all they know, the people willing to admit that they smoke pot and have time to join a study just have weird looking brains. Or, that people with these sort of abnormalities are drawn to pot use.

I quoted the OP's quote. The statement was quoted to give the casual reader that brain "reformatting" is something unnatural and harmful, when it isn't
I didn't read the study to be honest. The work I did while getting my degree in neuroscience allowed me to have an in depth look at what cannabinoids do to the brain.
My opinion on the study, if it concludes that pot is bad for you, is that it doesn't hold much merit. Plenty of research supports the benefits of the drug

We like science as long as it agrees with us I suppose.

Marijuana is much worse for teens and young adults than is commonly acknowledged in terms of exacerbating problems with biochemical brain disorders. There is a lot of gray area on what the studies indicate at this point, but come on, I think over time the links will be shown more clearly with more and more evidence.

The whole point is that the science isn't really saying much. The author of the study doesn't even assert that these brain changes are bad. It's people's interpretation of science that can be bent. As I said earlier, there's no way to infer causality in this study.

If only you people knew how many people you come across each day that are normal, hard working citizens, and smoke weed daily.

Putting smoke in your lungs is bad? No way

That doesn't mean it can't be "bad" for you.

The study analyzed 20 pot smokers and 20 non-pot smokers

In the brains of marijuana users, natural rewards are less satisfying.
“Drugs of abuse can cause more dopamine release than natural rewards like food, sex and social interaction,” said lead author Jodi Gilman. “In those you also get a burst of dopamine but not as much as in many drugs of abuse. That is why drugs take on so much salience, and everything else loses its importance.”
Hmm
