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 changes – and found that young adults who used cannabis just once or twice a week showed significant abnormalities in two important brain structures.

Duh.
I laugh every time I hear from pot smokers that marijuana use is completely harmless compared to alcohol. No one can possibly believe marijuana is the least bit harmless.
I had a buddy in high school that was probably the brightest guy in our class, and he was extremely outgoing. He found pot, and within a year, he had no gleam in his eye. He became this blank, empty loner of a guy that I could hardly recognize.
It eats your brain, folks. Legal or not, it destroys who you are.
On a selfish note, it culls the herd for my kids, whom I'm confident find potheads to be as pathetic as I do.

Up to 80 percent of alcoholics, however, have a deficiency in thiamine (15), and some of these people will go on to develop serious brain disorders such as Wernicke–Korsakoff syndrome (WKS) (16). WKS is a disease that consists of two separate syndromes, a short–lived and severe condition called Wernicke’s encephalopathy and a long–lasting and debilitating condition known as Korsakoff’s psychosis.

If you read the link they only test 20 people. Its called genetic variation. Either way, it should be a personal choice to smoke. The government is not here to protect the people from themselves, it is here to protect individuals from each other.

Although Breiter’s team members did not examine the patients’ cognitive symptoms, they do believe that the brain abnormalities seen in their study could lead to substantial effects on brain development and behavior, especially given the young ages of the participants. Breiter also acknowledged the problems of analyzing a very small study sample – but said that their findings should still serve as a wake-up call to others.
First line -FAUX NEWS says it all.
Friggin Pop and Cheetos do more damage than weed.
Maybe you should have read the entire article and understood what it actually meant instead of the headline. This stupid ex-pothead named Verax was able to, why couldn't you?
So in other words it could possibly have negative effects that have of yet been quantified. Personally I'm interested in what the risk factors may be, perhaps I'd be a little smarter now if I hadn't smoked all that weed. Unfortunately though you mischaracterize this study as evidence pot makes you stupid and use it as a feather in your agenda cap.
Bingo. Props by the way for the S.D. Skelli.Fluoride in a water supply does more damage than weed, Tylenol does more damage than weed.
He may have just hit the bong too hard and temporally forgot how to read.
No way, Erod totally heard about this dude who smoked pot and then died, so pot causes everyone who uses it to die!
I just read a study that it's beneficial for diabetics as it's been found to control blood sugar.Anyone who thinks marijuana is harmless is a fool. Alcohol and marijuana are both equally dangerous drugs. The latest thing I read concerning marijuana is that it slowly breaks down the body's immune system.
Did you 'temporally' forget how to spell?
