What about an article about how short term memory is destroyed the more tv/movies you watch? We don't exactly see it uncommon for kids to be sitting around watching 8+hours of tv a day, especially with weed. Could be the fact there is no stimulation occurring while stoned. One of my favorite past times was to get high then do calculus. Was easier that way than sober.

I should have said everyone instead of anyone. There are definitely specific cases in which any drug can be harmful to someone.
If you take weed as an example there are definitely cases where it can be beneficial to someone, and there are a handful of cases in which a person shouldn't smoke it because of adverse reactions, but for the majority of people I would say the health effects are mostly inconclusive since there is so much bias and too much conflicting research to draw accurate conclusions.
Same goes for hullicinogens, for the majority of cases I wouldn't rule them as "bad" in the way the media/government would.
I'm inclined to agree. People who are researching drugs are often looking for a pro- or a anti-drug argument from their research. Especially with pot/psychedelics/MDMA.

This is bullshit. Straight up.
I'm an epileptic. My condition is "unknown, needs further research" ... Meaning, I'm not your typical epileptic and the doctors do not know my cause. Do I give a shit? Naaaa...
My point is, I go in for multiple brain scans each year. CT.CAT.MRI..EEG..ECG ...
Know what they find abnormal? Nothing ...
Now this is the part where people may flame me for having such a condition and smoking pot. If so, "fuck you hypocrites".... I'm hoping that's not the case.
My major point is, take a bunch of dumbasses claiming to be potheads and put them into a study ... They're bound to have brain-damage. Their participation shows this.
It's not the pot. It's their own neurological fuckup.
After DMT, Mushrooms and A LOT of Pot, My brain is just the same as it has been for the past 12 years.
Studies like this wouldn't share my medical history however. It's not "media friendly" ...
Think for yourselves folks!

So it this more typical snobbery that marijuana has no ill-effects? It's funny, really, when you consider that being open-minded would be valued in this community--but not the idea that marijuana could have a single strike against it. I am not a scientist by any stretch, but deductive reasoning would lead me to the conclusion that smoking pot probably has some effects on the brain/body that are not desirable, if not negative. Again, I'm not a scientist, but I can still figure that out in all my infinite stupidity.

I do believe cannabinoids build up at synapses. Much safer than SSRI's blowing up or swelling receptor sites. Cannabis doesn't shrink the entire brain like new anti-psychotics do, or cause parkison syndromes.
I believe I get more from cannabis than I lose from it. It's always up to everyone to decide for themselves. I don't care to see everyone smoking it anyhow. I'd rather have a world where nobody knows what cannabis is, but it's too late for that.
People that find a drugs effects to be too harmful for them, usually stop using it. Lot's of us stop because it's just to difficult to procure, as is my situation. I don't think anything is more powerful than personal will power, other than group will power. In my case group will power has proved stronger than my personal will.

Its well established that using psychoactive medication during the brain's development leads to negative consequences. This is true for almost every psychoactive medication, and it has been established that marijuana does indeed cause cognitive development problems. This study does not tread any new ground. What they surveyors/media are doing is spinning the wording of the results to tend for people to assume the message that marijuana use in general causes brain damage. This has never been proven and the links between marijuana and schizophrenia have been studied in people who began before and after the completion of brain development. The studies do back up the idea that marijuana consumption before 21 leads to an increased disposition to schizophrenia, almost a 3-fold increase. However, by the same token, there is no observable increase in the incidence of schizophrenia in people who began after 21.
Read between the lines, people.

Did anyone else notice how in the headline they put "Damages Brain for Life", but then when they actually quoted the researcher, all he said was that it was for at least a few years?

Well, I guess they can just stop using cannabis to treat Alzheimer's, it seems this form of treatment would make it worse, don't you think? But wait, they haven't found that out yet? In fact, they've found it to improve the brain function despite the disease???? What?
"Alzheimer's: New Method To Protect Brain Cells From Neurodegenerative Diseases Found. Researchers at LSU Health Sciences Center New Orleans, provides evidence that one of the only naturally occurring fatty acids in the brain that has the ability to interact with the receptors originally identified as the targets of THC (the psychoactive component of marijuana) can help to protect brain cells from neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.

That's because it is a known fact that from the moment you first smoke weed, you'll be dead within 3 years.
