Casual marijuana use may come with some not-so-casual side effects.
For the first time ever, researchers at Northwestern University have analyzed the relationship between casual use of marijuana and brain changesand found that young adults who used cannabis just once or twice a week showed significant abnormalities in two important brain structures.
The studys findings, to be published Wednesday in the Journal of Neuroscience, are similar to those of past research linking chronic, long-term marijuana use with mental illness and changes in brain development.

Nah... can’t be so. This MUST be propaganda from the anti-weed establishment....
Or so the pro-pot “libertarian-types” will say...
Or it is the medical community saying this so they can prescribe more meds as opposed to those who smoke weed for pain!!
Amanda Bynes....could the marijuana be responsible for her hospitalization?
The government will like this also as they can take money form the deserving and give it to the abnormal.
So...........how long ya think Biden, Reid and Pelosi been partakin?
So if I try it my brain will again be like an 18-25 year old?
Sure, if all brains of 18-25 year olds are abnormal.
"Dude.....wait....what?"
When I hear how many different types of meds some of my friends are taking, I am speechless. Some of these people have a monthly bill for meds of at least $400!!!! Anti-depressants, blood pressure meds, thyroid meds, etc.
And where are the studies that link it with crime, unemployment, welfare, higher prison populations and the like?
Look. Keeping marijuana illegal IS NOT just another version of Prohibition. The WOD may be a failure but only because Big Gov has found ways to manipulate anti-marijuana laws.
But to legalize all pot would only worsen our social and economic problems.
Well, well, well. So much for the doesn’t hurt anyone theory.
So...........how long ya think Biden, Reid and Pelosi been partakin?

At least as long as Obama has.30 years? Maybe longer, since they’re older.
This study is bunk and I’ll tell you why....it, uh, er, I would say, uh...crap, I forgot.
Should they stop treating those conditions so you feel more at ease?
I strongly suspect they have been imbibing the bong water also.
.how long ya think Biden, Reid and Pelosi been partakin?
The study said abnormal. It did not say evil, power hungry or treasonous.
That is exactly why every psych text, all liberal, are against the use of marijuana. ALL.
