Pot destroys your brain, anyone who’s been around anyone who has smoked pot for a while knows this for a fact.
My brain seems to be functioning perfectly well after 31 plus years of heavy use.
Although I’m sure it can affect some or many negatively, perhaps those who you deem to have had their brains destroyed would have had their minds scrambled whether or not they indulged, and in fact their minds may have been messed up by indulging in other “recreational” drugs that truly can/will turn a person into a vegetable.
Hard to tell, but I have first hand evidence that many heavy users are neither brain damaged nor a burden to society in any way, and in fact are hard working taxpayers who contribute to society as a whole.
Booze turns it into mush. Ever hear the expression ‘’wetbrain’’?
