Study suggests long-term cannibis use shrinks OFC.

The team studied 48 adult cannabis users aged about 20 to 36 who were compared with a group of matched non-users.
On average, the cannabis users took the drug three times a day.
Although tests showed that regular users had lower IQs than non-users, this did not appear to be related to brain abnormalities.
The scans revealed that smoking cannabis every day was associated with shrinkage in the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) region of the brain, which is involved in mental processing and decision making.
It also influences responses to rewards and adversity, and is strongly linked to empathy – the ability to sense other people’s feelings.

That's not excessive by a lot of stoners standards. Weed might be natural but it doesn't mean it doesn't have an effect.

It has been stated, on this board, that weed has little to no side effects.

An amount (in grams) would be more useful than "three times a day."

Unless you're in college or a complete worthless frick with no job you cannot smoke three times a day and be in any sense productive.

Weed makes me want to frick, which, I submit, is BOTH sound mental processing and excellent decision making.

Not that I'm pro legalization, but if you drink say 4 beers in the morning, 4 in the afternoon, and 4 at night (arbitrary number but trying to find an equivalent in what would cause similar levels of drunk to high) would you not think there would be adverse effects? To put it short duhhhh.

Was the test sponsored by the wiskey lobby?
