Does Marijuana affect the mind detrimentally?!
Question: Does Marijuana affect the mind detrimentally!?
In the summer I smoked weed maybe maybe 8 or 9 times, is this or smoking regularly going to affect my brain in any way!? Will it kill my brain cells!? Make me permanently "slower"!? Will it change me when I'm not high!? Please don't answer with "DON"T DO DRUGS THEY ARE BAD" because that's not what I'm asking!. If someone with real information could give a good answer that would be greatly appreciated!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

There has been little to no evidence that your cognative skills will be affected!. Its is quite well established medically that chronic use of Cannabis causes different cognative impairments while the chronic vs occasional users are 'high' I refer to: Ramaekers JG, 2008 "Neurocognitive performance during acute THC intoxication in heavy and occasional cannabis users!." This study found chronic users perform at the same level when 'high' and nto 'high', while occasional users had significant differences in performance!. Since this study must use the user as this/her own control, it's possible that the chronic user's cognative skills deteriorated, but it is impossible to prove!.
While the medical side has no negative evidence, consider the social ramifications, a possession charge will render you ineligable for a professional position such as a doctor, pharmacist, RN, lawyer etc!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You can find many reports and studies by a simple Google search for effects of marijuana!.
The big thing that no one tells you about marijuana in any of the "studies" is that all of these detrimental effects will only begin to take their toll with CHRONIC use!.
8 or 9 times in the summer, no!.
Start smoking it every day, the MOST damaging effects you will experience are:
- Lack of motivation!.
- Inability to concentrate!.
- Social withdrawal - you will begin to avoid people, or at least anyone who doesn't smoke dope!.
- Worst of all, you won't care about any of these things!.
Occasional smoking will never be a problem!. Daily or semi daily smoking will begin to slow you down, and your life will begin to move backwards!.
The brain cells argument is weak at best!. Brain cells die every day!. Any abuse accelerates this, but it will never show in a lifetime if you use pot occasionally!.

You don't say how old you rae and that will really determine many of the answers you are seeking!. If you are under 18 then ANY mind altering chemical will have much more of an effect on you than on an adult and also have the potential to do much more lasting harm!.Your brain is still in its developmental stages and adding chemicals now is truly taking way too big a risk!.
Regular use of marijuana in adolescence can unmask mental illness, like schizophrenia and bi-polar!. It can lead to mood swings and depression!. Suicide in teens is very high and there is anecdotal evidence that heavy marijuana usage is influential in those figures!.
8 or nine times over three months however is hardly heavy usage!. Too heavy for a teen, of course, but not "regular use" by any means!.
My advice to you is to knock it off until you have matured a bit more!. Everyone experiments as they get older and I am sure in college you will do it again!. But the trick is in remembering the fears you are feeling right noe!. Hopefully awareness of the fact that the chemicals you are using have the potential to cause harm will allow you to be responsible!.
Any drug even legal ones can take over your life if you use them to excess!. A toke on a joint once a month or so is not going to carve IQ points off anyone over the age of 18 so don't think I advocate abstinence!.I am just saying use your brain and you'll be protecting it too!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

you'll be fine!!! no it does not kill brain cells!. alcohol does, however!. but not cannabis!. it does put a fatty substance around them that clouds you and effects the way you think, but if you stop smoking for a while it will dissipate!. for real, i know people that are high all the time that are a bit slower (horrible memory when they are high), but if they were to clear out for a while they think quicker and are way smarter!. its really not that bad for you, but it is pretty bad on your lungs and throat!.

As cigarettes are more dangerous, they both are drugs and drugs regardless are going to take a toll on your health!. Yes, Weed is proven to kill brain cells but not a lot everytime or else a lot of people would be vegetables!. But it may speed up the cause of old age(eg:wrinkles) and asthma and It may even be speed up the cause of Alzheimers!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Everything in excess can cause damage, Regular use of marijuana doesn't affect you physically but emotionally, and it doesn't create a physically addiction but psychological to the effect!.

Yes, smoking weed does make people not as bright!. I am not a Dr!. but from my experiences with knowing lots of "stoners" sometimes they are dreamers and sometimes slow to catch on!. But, having said that, if you only smoked that many times, your fine!. I think it is the regular users that have the issues your referring to!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

But ive been smoking pot almost everyday for years!. and I'm able to function normally, i have a well paying job, I'm not stupid, I may be a little ditsy, but ive been that way my whole life!.
