Question: I heard its mostly burn outs that temporarily last, along with excessive burnouts. But, can marijuana harm some people differently? like cause brain damage?


Answers: I heard its mostly burn outs that temporarily last, along with excessive burnouts. But, can marijuana harm some people differently? like cause brain damage?

Well, it can cause people to become extremly paranoid. People who smoke grade are also more likely to become depressed in later life, although it hasn't been recorded that it can cause actual brain damage.

If people use grade then they are more likely to use other drugs, such as MDMA and acid in later life. These can cause more severe problems and can lead to brain damage.

I hope this information helps!

MAJOR BRAIN DAMAGE!!!

There are some people that have no brains to worry about, like the people actually considering trying marijuana.

it kills brain cells what do you think people try and glorify it and say its harmless but if thats the casue why is it agenst the law

No longterm effects on the brain. Marijuana has no long term effects whatsoever unless you have an exsisting problem that it's aggervating like Asthma.

It can disrupt short term memory and eventually slow motor skills.

uh. yep.

Yes, any drug can have bad effects on your brain, even legal ones.

yeah i read something about it once. you realize how much we don't know about the brain? if it's pretty widely known that it's bad anyway, just stay away from it.

Yes.

Don't risk it!

It's killed people before.

You can easily get into an overdose.

not enough to truely cause a signifigant amount, unless someone is taking excessive amounts and during puberty, it could, but the likelyhood is low. mostly, it causes your brain to become lazy, but that happens to people that do not use it as well.

depends how much and how long use it so yeah if you're a hard core stoner

umm....DUH!!! my uncled started with marijuana and then moved to bigger and worse drugs when the high wasn't enough for him. where is he now? DEAD. b/c he killed himself one night when he was on drugs. so here's some advice, straight from me to you: GET YOUR HEAD OUT OF YOUR A$$ AND STAY CLEAN!!!

it depends on the persons mind strength. it can make you really paranoid and really slow. also you cant get anxiety if you smoke it too much. i know some people who smoke it alot and are very normal. but it all depends on the persons mind.

anyone who says it causes brain damage is OBVIOUSLY uninformed. it only causes short term memory loss, like when you get sober again, you cant remember everything that happened when you were high, but its really not that extreme. you remember more when your high than when you're drunk.

i wish all you people who commented above me would take the time to learn what you're talking about instead of saying marijuana is bad just because you see the commercials on tv. its been PROVEN that it doesnt cause any kind of long term damage, and its a hell of a lot better for you than cigarettes or alcohol. just because you smoke it, doesnt make you stupid. i know people who smoke it every day and get straight A's in school and have a job and have no desire to try more hardcore drugs. it depends on the person, and maybe if it were as bad as yo people think it is, it wouldnt be decriminalized in california. you should come here and open up your minds a little bit.

The effects are temporary, lasting about a week tops. Alcohol is far worse as its effects last a lifetime and are irreversible.

My friends and I use the term "permafried" to describe the people who do so much weed that they don't even seem to be able to follow a conversation. Sorry, but any drug can cause damage, even marijuana. I've seen it firsthand. Even if it IS only short-term damage, do you really want to be acting that slow and stupid all the time?

I don't believe it could actually CAUSE brain damage, unless maybe you already have some. Ofcourse using it for long periods of time can deteriorate some functions, but I don't think a person without medical issues would get brain damage from doing it. Just not a great idea.

Oh yes, supposedly whatever u smoke (even once), stays in your system for hte next 6 months. So imagine how screw up the brain cells or an habit smoker's are...

It has yet to be conclusively proven that there are long term damages to the brain, but studies are showing it can decrease mental capacity if used over a long period of time.

yes! it is horrible

screws u up every where
