The New Study about Pot

Personally, I don't use any illegal drugs. Never have, and never will, but pot smokers around the world can now rejoice. A new study said that moderate smokers of weed did not suffer any lung damage or lasting effects of air loss to their bodies. However, something smokers do not have to rejoice about is the amount of damage that marijuana does to the brain. The first thing to be hit when one smokes a large amount of pot is the short term memory. The levels of THC that the brain absorbs messes with the hippocampus, which really screws up the memory. Also, pot messes with people's emotional responses to situations. Part of the emotional impairment results in the high that users describe. Basically, the lesson here is never smoke weed.
