Harvard Scientists Studied the Brains of Pot Smokers, and the Results Don't Look Good

From your same study: While marijuana’s “exogenous” cannabinoids also can reduce anxiety, chronic use of the drug down-regulates the receptors, paradoxically increasing anxiety. This can trigger “a vicious cycle” of increasing marijuana use that in some cases leads to addiction.

I dealt with that already, plus I see you can't read. They put vicious cycle in quotation marks meaning it isn't necessarily bad, just that it can lead some to constantly use it. They aren't addicted in the meaning they can't live without, they just "need" it to stay calm. If they don't have any, they won't get sick or do!crime to get it. At most, they just lose their appetite, and can't sleep as easy, but this only last a day or two, and isn't that serious. Their body just has to readjust to make more endocannabinoids. Anyone who smoke seriously will tell you this, and by serious I mean smoking everyday, at least twice a day of large joints or blunts.

Try again

It really took a study to figure out how lethargic and retarded dope fiends like @Mephistopheles are?

Word. These potheads are dummies holmes. They think they're doing something "healthy,"

Wuts your point?

Deflecting is your master skill, right?

You know what the point is

What your BPA intake looking like?

What your BPA intake looking like?

Probably low. I dont fukk with eating or drinking out of plastic...and youd be hard pressed to find BPA in major bottling company plastic anyway.

But what that got to do with anything? BPA is toxic in certain concentrations over a period of time just like every other chemical/substance on earth. A hallucinogenic drug like THC probably isn't going to kill you but it's definitely causing physiological changes with long term use/exposure.

1) This is an egregious oversimplification of chemical toxicity.
2) Are the changes positive or negative?

Of course i simplified it breh. This the Coli, not Friday seminar

And it's not that far from the full story. Every chemical known to man will kill you....some just take longer than others. As far as if its positive or negative I can't say...but from what we know with most other drugs and following trends, it's most likely not completely harmless like most people want to believe.

1) You aint lying
2) This is just speculation. Besides marijuana is in a unique class of drugs on it's own, so predicting it based on other drugs is a foolish method.

I did say I don't know. I just formed a hypothesis using existing data . If you oversupply or starve brain receptors from their ligands, disease states occur.

Either way, I don't fukk with it so it's all the same to me.

Its smoke, I'm not surprised if they link it to lung cancer /sarcasm. I mean anyone who doesn't think smoking is harmful is delusional. Legalize it though. Tax revenue gonna be lit

 

[Hiphoplives4eva]

more fear mongering pseudoscience bullshyt. They didn't control for other drug use, they didn't do ANY cognitive tests to see if there were any differences, insanely small sample sizes, clickbait nonsense.

Well morons like the OP fell for it, so they achieved their goals.

 

[TheSpook]

Im mad nobody asked this, but xtra22 do you smoke? If not stfu and let nikkas cook. Nobody that smokes is listening to you. 9 pages of bullshyt back and forth. Stay sober and shut the fukk up.
