I know that our brain becomes more dense or clustered when we're more I telligent. And that smoking pot as a teen affects your myelinated sheaths and I'm very interested to see if my brain has any of those characteristics.
Or any other crazy stuff that I don't know about. Or just to see if there's any abnormalities or funky stuff going' on.
Or even just so I can have a picture of my own brain. Is it possible to just go to a doctor and ask for this? And does anyone know how much this would cost? I'm oblivious to all things medical, insurance, etc. related so this could be a genius idea or stupid and not worth the money.

In the US, an MRI is going to cost a few thousand dollars, depending on the hospital and the body part to be scanned. Lol, and your insurance isn't going to cover scans for 'fun'. Shits expensive.

If you want to pay cash for it. And they are not cheap.
