Robert Smith Posted July 18, 2001 Share Posted July 18, 2001 Since you guys seem to really give objective advice, I want you to tell me...of all the drugs out there, which one kills more brain cells?? I like to engage in ocassional pot smoking, but don't drink. What do you think?? I know drugs are drugs , but... I'm just curious. Link to post Share on other sites
Tony T Posted July 18, 2001 Share Posted July 18, 2001 Brain cells aren't killed. Neurotransmitters and receptors are diminished in usefulness in varying degrees over time by use of large amounts of alcohol and use of cocaine, crack cocaine, heroin, etc. Research has found the brain has an incredible capacity for rebuilding itself and if use of alcohol and other drugs ceases, the brain can restore some of its previous loss. Marijuana has little long term effects on the brain, except in some users it can become addictive. Link to post Share on other sites
Ajay Posted July 19, 2001 Share Posted July 19, 2001 Hi Robert! I don't know for sure about the killing of the brain cells (I've been searching for years to off some of mine -- to no avail), but why would anyone want to smoke pot and get stupid on purpose? Please let me know. Ajay Link to post Share on other sites
Tony T Posted July 19, 2001 Share Posted July 19, 2001 A lot of people get stupid without the aid of pot, other illicit drugs, or alcohol. They kill off their brain cells by atrophy, lack of use. Link to post Share on other sites

I like to engage in ocassional pot smoking, but don't drink. What do you think?? I know drugs are drugs , but... I'm just curious. I am a smoker myself and do not drink. I fully support legalization of Pot and think there should be more focus on what the effects of alchohol do to a person vs. pot! Link to post Share on other sites
candy Posted July 25, 2001 Share Posted July 25, 2001 You sound pretty judgmental there Ajay. First of all, although I don't smoke it myself, I know plenty of people who smoke weed recreationally (I.E weekends and some week nights) - smart, successful business people who are judged by people like you. Funny how a glass or two of wine every day is more acceptable than sharing a joint once or twice a week. Then, you go on and basically make out that only stupid people visit this site .. your sarcasim was quite clear with your judgment. If you can't control your elitist attitude don't comment. How true! Why just visiting this site can be a great brain stimulator... Link to post Share on other sites
