Weed Kills Braincells :(
    #7615769 - 11/09/07 03:24 PM (16 years, 2 months ago)

Why do people think that it doesn't?

Wether or not it is a carcinogen is still debatable. (there are theories that it kills the cells before they have a chance to become cancerous)

Smoke + Lungs + Lack of Oxygen = Loss of braincells.

what happens when you take a drink... you're not breathing then right, otherwise you'd drown.

So does this mean Drinking = Not breathing = Lack of Oxygen = Loss of braincells?

it is dangerous to be right in matters on which the established authorities are wrong.
A penalty for possession of a drug/plant should not be more damaging than the drug/plant itself.

Smoking weed kills about the same amount of braincells as swimming laps in a pool does, and a lot less than alcohol. The very act of being alive day-to-day kills way more braincells than you could ever hope to with weed. Besides, intelligence is not based on the amount of braincells you have, if that were the case than teenagers with all their fresh braincells would be drastically more intelligent than adults. Plus, its been proven that braincells do regenerate.

Basically, weed does very little damage to the brain.

Weed actually works wonders on the body...

It is no worse than some of the shit that is in the air we breathe already...

J Clin Invest. 2005 Oct 13

Cannabinoids promote embryonic and adult hippocampus neurogenesis and produce anxiolytic- and antidepressant-like effects
ABSTRACT

The hippocampal dentate gyrus in the adult mammalian brain contains neural stem/progenitor cells (NS/PCs) capable of generating new neurons, i.e., neurogenesis. Most drugs of abuse examined to date decrease adult hippocampal neurogenesis, but the effects of cannabis (marijuana or cannabinoids) on hippocampal neurogenesis remain unknown. This study aimed at investigating the potential regulatory capacity of the potent synthetic cannabinoid HU210 on hippocampal neurogenesis and its possible correlation with behavioral change. We show that both embryonic and adult rat hippocampal NS/PCs are immunoreactive for CB1 cannabinoid receptors, indicating that cannabinoids could act on CB1 receptors to regulate neurogenesis. This hypothesis is supported by further findings that HU210 promotes proliferation, but not differentiation, of cultured embryonic hippocampal NS/PCs likely via a sequential activation of CB1 receptors, G(i/o) proteins, and ERK signaling. Chronic, but not acute, HU210 treatment promoted neurogenesis in the hippocampal dentate gyrus of adult rats and exerted anxiolytic- and antidepressant-like effects. X-irradiation of the hippocampus blocked both the neurogenic and behavioral effects of chronic HU210 treatment, suggesting that chronic HU210 treatment produces anxiolytic- and antidepressant-like effects likely via promotion of hippocampal neurogenesis.




Neurogensis = new brain cells.

Cannabinoids have also been shown to have neuroprotective effects. - The brain secretes endogenous cannabinoids after physical trauma. And yes there are studies that show cannabinoids may help prevent cancer cell proliferation.

This thread should probably be in Physical & Mental..
Troll.

Weed does a lot of good things and virtually none of the bad things often attributed to it (except for occasionally making you lazy and forgetful, but I'm like that without weed anyway).

To the OP, why do you think that smoking weed DOES kill brain cells?

I think that TECHNICALLY you're killing brain cells if you're inhaling ANY burned carbon-based substance.

....and I can't even remember where I read that.

Last I heard, in order for brain cells to start dying, you have be passed out for, like, 7 minutes :what:

There are people who can hold their breath for like 3-5 minutes with no brain damage.

Have you ever heard of free diving? They train to be able to hold their breath for upwards of 20 minutes :eek:

Brain cells die all the time. inhaling smoke = kill more brain cells. Brain cells do come back though.


you're a goddamn fool if you don't believe that.
