Maybe it's 'the munchies' that "spurs brain cell growth" - it certainly spurs other cell growth...

"Wow. I guess that explains why every pot-head I've ever known has been a complete genius..."
I have a good friend, smokes everyday, who won the Nobel prize in physics. Smart enough for you?
***Prove it!
I have an acquaintance who was always stupid, smoked MJ everyday for 15 years or more, and is as stupid as ever, ekes by on SSI. To him EVERYTHING (and his failures) is the American society's fault, therefore, he rejects society and America. Yeah, he's a "liberal." Otherwise very unsocial, he does go to leftists protests and leftist protest workshops. Yes, there are leftist protest workshops available for willing fools.
"Since it is illegal, I will not give his name. If you think I'm lying to you, ignore me, and proceed with your prejudices."
Well, I am addressing what appears to be YOUR prejudice as well as the probability of your asserting a *substantiating* fiction as a basis of your argument.
You can ignore my challenge, but then you default.
Yep. There are reprobates all over the place. I have several friends who are teachers, lawyers, doctors and professors...all who smoke MJ regularly. I've lived in SF, Berkeley, Baltimore, NYC and the Midwest---there seems to be no exception. Some people who smoke MJ are dumber than stumps and others are brilliant and productive.
So if you believe that all people who smoke MJ are stupid then it must be true---correct?
"Some people who smoke MJ are dumber than stumps and others are brilliant and productive."
There is no doubt in my mind that moderate MJ use coincides with creativity - especially in the arts.
Hence, the vast intellectual superiority of libertarians over conservatives (ducking for cover).
I tend to agree, but I don't think MJ makes a silk purse out of a sow's ear.
From a lot of "art" I have seen, it appears they were stoned when they made it ...
I think the study showed it made them high and hungry ...

My son was an engineering major at Va.Tech . One of his comments I'll never forget is : " Dad, you will not believe how many kids in the engineering track smoke weed." And he added, "they are so frickin smart !BTW , he did graduate and land an enginneering job before he ahd commencement .
Other benefits: Cheeto and pizza sales double and gasoline usage plummets as happy people with big brains order out and never leave bed. Maybe tomorrow.

Gould was also a signatory to a 1998 advertisement in the New York Times, which took two full pages to appeal for a new international drug policy. "We believe the global war on drugs is now causing more harm than drug abuse itself," the ad claimed.
(Other signatories to the ad included Walter Cronkite, former US Surgeon General Joycelyn Elders, former Attorney General Nicholas Katzenbach, former Secretary of State George Shultz, Mayor Willie Brown of San Francisco, Mayor Kurt Schmoke of Baltimore, Mayor Susan Hammer of San Jose, Milton Friedman, and a variety of judges, police, academics and other prominent citizens.)

Yes.
As in DemoRats?
My cousin did some heavy toking at MIT. Now he is a nuclear physicist at Los Alamos, an avid skiier, and tennis afficianto. My brother did maryjane and even some LSD. Now he owns his own business building heliports all over the world ... has 6 patents.

Drugs like MJ and LSD allow for synapses to connect in novel ways - thus promoting thinking out of the box. All the jazz musicians and blues musicians and rock musicians were heavy MJ users - small price to pay for lifetime royalty rights to "Family Tradition " or such.
Good for you!
