I guess we all might have some pot head stories. I knew a guy in college who got stoned every day. He was incredibly stupid all the time. Finally he quit smoking, but stayed really dumb, like abnormally dumb, everyone commented on it.

I saw him about a year later in another town and his brain had finally returned to normal, about a year after getting off the stuff.

"I saw him about a year later in another town and his brain had finally returned to normal, about a year after getting off the stuff."

According to research at the Stanford Alcohol institute and used in Dr. T. Gorski's research on relapse prevention, the damage to the brain in the average addict takes 7-11 years to fully heal.
