Alcohol does not damage brain cells."While it can't kill brain cells, it can damage the dendrites, which are the branch-like ends of the brain cells. Dendrites are key for passing messages from one neuron to another, so a degradation of the dendrites can cause cognitive problems." - www.brainhq.com
That's so much better. Bottoms up!

Yes, I am sure my 2-4 drinks a week are going to so seriously degrade my cognitive reasoning that soon I will be nothing but a quivering shadow of my former self, perpetually stuck in the fetal position suckling my thumb for eternity.
Pass the Johnny Walker Black, please...

It has only been legal in Washington and Colorado for the last 2 years. So how were these young people obtaining their weed for the past “7 or 8 years”?
All we hear about is the legal weed will end up in the hands of the chillrun but this study seems to indicate that...wait for it...They are buying it illegally!
A future study could still be skewed however because once they turn 21 then they could purchase it in the states and DC where it is now legal..

Drug-addled brains make easy targets for indoctrination.

I am willing to wager that, based on your counter arguments and profile page, I am arguing with someone somewhat fond of partaking in said pot culture?

Not that your ad hominem has anything to do with the argument you're attempting to squirm out of - but I haven't used pot in about twenty years.

How is my response ad hominem, pray tell?"Ad hominem circumstantial points out that someone is in circumstances such that they are disposed to take a particular position." - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ad_hominem#Circumstantial
Have anything to say about the actual topic of discussion - which, if you've forgotten, is the damaging effects of drugs illegal and legal?

Hmm...I didn't say "ad hominem CIRCUMSTANTIAL." I distinctly said "Ad hominem" without any qualifiers.

I simply asked a question out of curiosity, and you immediately went on the defensive, assuming I was attacking or maligning you personally in some way.
You know what they always say:
"Assumption is the mother of all f**k ups"

I simply asked a question out of curiosityNo, you stated that an affirmative answer was likely given my arguments: "I am willing to wager that, based on your counter arguments and profile page, I am arguing with someone somewhat fond of partaking in said pot culture?"
Now that your purported curiosity has been satisfied: Have anything to say about the actual topic of discussion - which, if you've forgotten, is the damaging effects of drugs illegal and legal?

Pot effects performance in the aftermath. Not the same as booze.
To: SaraJohnson
Either drug can affect performance in the aftermath, depending on degree of use. As always, the dose makes the poison.
