While most addictive drugs, legal or illegal, have been proven to slow down or inhibit the growth of brain cells, a new study shows that marijuana might do just the opposite.

"But Zhang is quick to caution the findings don't mean marijuana is a miracle drug. His research has shown that using the drug comes with lots of side effects that aren't positive, such as memory impairment, addiction and withdrawal symptoms. And the version used in the tests was potent and pure. Nothing on the street would compare to it, he said."

OH well...I knew it was too good to be true.
Plus the article here is 2 years old and the study was on rats.
I perfer to do my own research:) - Thu, 13 Jul 2006 6:20pm

I dunno, perhaps consumption of marijuana would be good for people who are suffering with a brain injury?!? - Thu, 13 Jul 2006 8:30pm Edited: Thu, 13 Jul 2006 11:53pm

In your case Griph, I think getting off the computer, outta your cave, and maybe even going outside would do you a fuck of a lot better than any ole joint.... - Fri, 14 Jul 2006 9:49pm

Heh... thing is, when your get as tired as me, you end up laying around watching TV (go figure), I can't even read a book or watch a movie cause I get so tired and never think to do that. Still, what else is there to do which is free?!? Oh, and what makes you think I smoke pot?!? I've done some research into it, apparently it's good for seizure (as in you don't have one). Take a joint outside?!? Yeah, walk the Galloping Goose smoking a foot long!!! - Sat, 15 Jul 2006 10:15am Edited: Sat, 15 Jul 2006 1:00pm
