Medical conclusion: It changes your brain chemistry permanently
A list of medical papers in this monthly review by Dr. Blaylock says that those who use it under 17 (and some effects up to 27) are "screwing" with brain development which leads to schizophrenia and psychosis.
Studies show that even if use is stopped, that damage is done and the risks of mental problems significantly increase. One study said that if ALL pot use was stopped, that the number of schizophrenics would decrease by 13% (it actually says that 13% of schizo is caused by juvenile pot use, I reworded it).
Numbers from studies like this are just guidelines but credible research that shows 13 out of 100 schizophrenics is caused by juvenile pot use should alarm anybody who lights up.
The review does acknowledge that there are medical benefits BUT that recreational, irresponsible use is dangerous.
