Marijuana disrupts brain development
 
Quote:
The term pot-head takes on new meaning with a study that suggests adolescents and young adults who smoked a lot of marijuana are more likely than non-users to have disrupted brain development.

[...]

This is not the first research to suggest marijuana damages the brain. In previous reseach involving memory skill stests, subjects who'd smoked too much did poorly. But brain imaging can reveal specifics.
Full article

To me it's just an article of facts with more added details. lol

At least Ashtari was honest enough to point out the flaws in the study.

Also, the key words are adolescents and young adults. Your brain is already going through chemical changes on its own, so adding something else to the mix probably won't have good results.

I'm a little leery of taking NIMH-funded studies at face value. I don't know exactly how pressured they are to get the "right" results. There's a lot of pharmaceutical company incestuousness going on.

I don't have feelings about marijuana one way or the other. Sample was really small though.
