By fo'realz yo,

Weed don't kill brain cells, the act of smoking causes a slight hypoxic condition which accellerates the natural process of brain cells dying, and short term memory loss suffers because that part of the brain (the Hippocampus) becomes more active. Not-so coincidentally, the hippocampus is where most of the CB1 receptor sites are located. CB1 sites are the THC receptors which cause the high to happen, while CB2 sites located primarily along the spinal cord and in the nervous system are responsible for the pain relieving effects of MJ.

I suspect that cannibis indica and cannibis sative act on these two sites in different proportions relative to the type of cannbiniods contained un each, and is why sativa gives a head high (because it priomarily affects the CB1 sites, whereas indica may interact more readily with CB2 receptor sites.

Peace

damn someone did their homework, +rep for sure.
