Weed resin?

I have 5 grams worth of resin and I was wondering if it's worth anything. Or should I just throw it out?
Also, I know that weed doesn't kill your brain cells, but I was wondering if someone could scientifically explain to my why it doesn't.
- thanks

Weed doesn't kill braincells just because... it doesn't. The only reason anybody thought it did was a "scientific" study wherein a chimp was asphyxiated by marijuana smoke for four minutes. More than any smoker would inhale in a lifetime. Shockingly, this chimp was found to have brain damage.

Yeah, in that study, the monkey didn't even have access to oxygen... they fucking SUFFOCATED him.
And yeah, I've been out of weed, and a few days ago, I scraped the resin out of my bowl, dissolved it in isopropyl alcohol, then let it evaporate and scraped it up. I rolled it into a ball about half the size of a pea. I was fucking STONED.

It's up to you. Resin is nasty, and no good for your lungs, but it'll get you stoned. And if I know these boards some douche is probably going to pipe up correcting you "it's not resin, it's tar", so a quick fuck off to any of y'all in advance.

That's not exactly a fair question. Can you explain to me why water doesn't kill brain cells? Or pork? It's only really possible to explain why something does a thing, not why it doesn't.

Dumbest study ever.
And i wouldn't waste my time smoking rezin, it tastes bad, and i'm not that desperate. If you mean vaporized bud, then thats actually worth keeping. Make brownies if so.

And for weed being bad for your lungs, yeah he's right... but think about it your smoking the resin to begin with... all the resin is now is like smokin a whole bunch of weed at once

im not a pharmacologist, but from what i understand (albeit very little) your brain has cannabinoid receptors which get stimulated when you ingest pot which works like a key in a keyhole. it doesn't work by attacking your brain cells therefore it doesn't kill brain cells.

The same can be said of meth, but when abused, meth will cause brain damage.
The critical issue is what the keyhole does after you turn the key. In the case of weed in CB1 and CB2 receptors, its effects seem to be benign.

Yeah, in fact, some recent studies have show that cannibinoids actually PROTECT neurons from damage.

good point, but of course drugs are not meant to be abused, because they'll abuse you back

Could you please describe what damaging drugs such as meth actually do after they turn the key? I'm curious...

Don't recall off the top of my head, it induces cell apoptosis by overstimulation in some fashion, can't remember the exact mechanism (if it's known).
