‘I am waiting for the definitive study on what the cannabis “habit” does to brain cells and mental faculties...’
From what I’ve gleaned from the research, no permanent effect has ever been established for adults. Developing children (21 seems a reasonable cutoff) shouldn’t be doing any drugs, with alcohol being one of the most damaging.
From my own anecdotal experience it’s a little tough to tell, since alcohol and other drugs figure heavily into most of the ‘sad stories’. On the other hand, I do know of successful older people who regularly use cannabis and lead lives most of you’d consider ‘normal’.
I also know some folks that lived Hunter Thompson inspired youths, but went on to be at least useful members of society.
