One huge difference in marijuana use and every illegal drug and over the counter drugs is that you can consume an enormous amount of it and you will not die.
My brother was invited by the "cool kids" to hang out at some kids house whose liberal parents had left for the weekend.
My brother, always a moral and thoughtful individual, wanted to attend because it was one of those massive house parties that he'd never been to.
Well, as was later recalled by some of his friends at the party, he was pressured into smoking marijuana. He ended up smoking the entire pack of marijuana cigarettes.
Not long after he went into convulsions and started foaming at the mouth. The people at the party held back calling 911 for almost 10 minutes.
When the paramedics finally arrived they could do nothing to save him.
The autopsy revealed he had 3 times the lethal dosage of blood in his THC.
But I'm sure everyone here will deny my story and the fact that my brother died after smoking that illegal narcotic.

I could probably name 30 things that are legal and over-the-counter that are worse for brain development in utes (get that reference?).
Uh... did you say "utes"?

I smoke weed. I still enjoy everyday activities as much as the next guy. I love fishing, playing basketball, watching football, ect.
People who only like to smoke weed and never leave the house, were probably boring depressed people in the first place.
I also believe just because a drug changes the way you think, doesn't mean that it is harmful to your brain. Psychedelics are a great example of this. Salvia, dmt, and psylosybin all dissolve your ego (while your are under the influence, not permanently).
Compare this to drugs like alcohol which empower your ego. You know why you think your funnier on alcohol? Because it puts you in a delusional state.
Call me crazy, but I think people who smoke marijuana and enjoy the occasional trip, are more likely to be humble and easy goong, while people who only drink tend to be obnoxious and narcacistic.
Of course there are plenty of exceptions, but hypothetically, if you gave the same person two different lives, one where he only drinks alcohol, and the other where he does psychedelics, I believe the one that does psychedelics will be more open minded, more humble, and would get a lot more out of life.

quit supposing. Lots of ridiculous claims in the article/study
quote:
Breiter hailed the study as the first to analyze the effects of light marijuana use.
quote:
The study analyzed 20 pot smokers and 20 non-pot smokers between 18 and 25. Scientists asked them to estimate how much marijuana they smoked and how often they lit up over a three-month test period. Even those who smoked once a week showed brain abnormalities, while larger changes were seen in those who smoked more.
No way that could possibly be inaccurate or a poor representation of the population
quote:
The study did not look at the behavior of the pot smokers, only their brains. What effect, if any, Wednesday’s findings will have on future legislation remains unclear.

“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.”
It said earlier that his study didn't touch on behavior. That isn't what I would call I scientific conclusion. Even if the study were done correctly and was accurate, that conclusion would be out of the scope

The drug’s effect on the human brain, however, is substantially more clear, researchers say. In the study, scientists compared the size, shape and density of the nucleus accumbens and the amygdala, which control emotion. Those who had smoked had abnormally large nucleus accumbens, an area of the brain that controls pleasure, reward, and reinforcement learning.
So the man has less control over you.
Far out.
