MYTH

Myth: Permanent brain damage is one of the inevitable results of the use of marijuana.
The only brain cell it kills are cancer cells in the brain

A long time ago they was a study where they pumped monkeys with 63 Columbia joints for 5 min. over 3 months. The monkeys did have brain cell loss. Thats all the govt. told us at the time. But later after tons of request on how the study was done theey told us. They pumped it though gas mask with no oxygen . The lack of oxygen is what killed the brain cells.

information on that is from the movie union.

Myth: Pot Kills Brain Cells

Government experts now admit that pot doesn’t kill brain cells. This myth came from a handful of animal experiments in which structural changes (not actual cell death, as is often alleged) were observed in brain cells of animals exposed to high doses of pot. Many critics still cite the notorious monkey studies of Dr. Robert G. Heath, which purported to find brain damage in three monkeys that had been heavily dosed with cannabis. This work was never replicated and has since been discredited by a pair of better controlled, much larger monkey studies, one by Dr. William Slikker of the National Center for Toxicological Research and the other by Charles Rebert and Gordon Pryor of SRI International. Neither found any evidence of physical alteration in the brains of monkeys exposed to daily doses of pot for up to a year. Human studies of heavy users in Jamaica and Costa Rica found no evidence of abnormalities in brain physiology. Even though there is no evidence that pot causes permanent brain damage, users should be aware that persistent deficits in short-term memory have been noted in chronic, heavy marijuana smokers after 6 to 12 weeks of abstinence. It is worth noting that other drugs, including alcohol, are known to cause brain damage.
