Marijuana is not a narcotic. I repeat, marijuana is not a narcotic.
It is not a narcotic, but you know, it just destroys brain cells. That’s a mild side effect isn’t it? :)
Mohomed.
Marijuana does not destroy brain cells.
In fact RESEARCH shows that it causes Nuerogenesis.
Something thought impossible. The growth of NEW brian cells and nerves. This is why it is a great treatment for Nueropathy and Alzheimers.
There are litterally hundreds of medical studies on marijuana an its positive effects on the nuerology. Alzheimers patient gaining their sanity.
Back up you Propoganda with some research. There is none. Marijuana is NOT a narcotic, except by statute. It is a god created plant.
Propaganda? I’m talking about personal experience with places I went with tens of marijuana addicted persons. They are destabilized.
If you are talking about things God created, so in a sense, everything is God created, be it in nature or its origin.
Your comment is really irrelevant, since till today the concept of adult neurogenesis (which is different from neonatal one) is accepted among very limited group of biologists (I’m already a Biomedical Engineer with readings in Neuro Engineering), and since it is proven scientifically that such a phenomenon exists in the first place, you don’t have any basis to talk about your, excuse my french, BS.
I’ve been smoking marijuana for years! It’s only helped me!
