i went to an aa meeting with my cousin

Discussion in 'Medical Marijuana Usage and Applications' started by whitericedylan, May 29, 2009.

  1. And the instructor told me that this guy in bellvue did research on marijuana and found serious brain damage in Chronic marijuana users.. He said it had a worse affect then any other drug out there.. I really dont know what to think of what he said.. What do you guys think, or actually know about how the herbs damage the brain and what affect it has on a person.. I smoke on a daily basis for years now and i dont feel any less smart, or plain stupid.. I feel what seems pretty normal to me as a human being!
     
  2. Man that is just a load of bullshit he is trying to give you

    I was in NA and AA for addiction to hard drugs and alcohol and it is definetly helpful but what that guy told you was a flat out lie

    but hey man he is just a sobered up guy who is telling u that mariijuana is worse for you than any other drug in the world fucking bullshit my friend

  4. lol well i kinda figured that.. I dont know why he would say that.. I almost busted out laughing when he did..
     
  5. Dude, you want to blow some minds? Make a print-up of my list (use the old format list) and take it to the next AA meeting! :p Plunk THAT down in front of the AA guy and ask him to read it! :eek:

    Did you know that before prohibition, cannabis was considered by doctors as an excellent way to get people off of alcohol and other hard drugs? Not only that, but cannabis prevents brain damage from alcohol abuse- here's that study and a couple of more-

    Cannabidiol, Antioxidants, and Diuretics in Reversing Binge Ethanol-Induced Neurotoxicity
    Comparison of Cannabidiol, Antioxidants, and Diuretics in Reversing Binge Ethanol-Induced Neurotoxicity -- Hamelink et al. 314 (2): 780 -- Journal of Pharmacology And Experimental Therapeutics

    Cannabis substitution
    Clinical Studies and Case Reports

    Cannabis as a Substitute for Alcohol
    CCRMG



    And here's 2 studies that refutes the AA guy's misinformation about brain damage!

    Effects of frequent marijuana use on brain tissue volume and composition

    Heavy cannabis use without long-term effect on global intelligence

    IGNORANCE MUST BE FOUGHT!



    Granny :wave:
     
  6. i smoke a lot and im probably one of the most clever people you will ever meet so i wouldn't worry mate
     
  7. The instructor is lying to you.
    Marijuana does NOT cause brain damage.
     



  8. This bullshit has been debunked repeatedly by hundreds if not thousands (by now) of legitimate scientists doctors and other health professionals around the world.

    More likely the misconstrued story went like..." This mental patient from Belview Sanitorium.........said he has a hole in his brain for cannabis"


    :hello:
     
  9. when ever i hear someone say anything bad about marijuana i just look at them and say
    "SHUT YOUR IGNORANT UNEDUCATED MOUTH!!!"
     
  10. thanks for the respones fellas.. i cant see how it could possibly worse then any other drugs.. ive taken quite a few and feel more damaged from just the few times ive done them then the million times ive smoked weed... That AA instructor was very confident in what he said.. it made me kinda mad because he put me on the spot in front of the class of junkies.. How are you gonna tell people coacaine herion, ectasy, acid, achohol, anything that those people in the class are there for that weed is worse then all the drugs.. well at least im not the one going to mandatory aa meetings because my life is so fucked off that i cant control or care what i do.. i dont steal from my family or cheat or lie or whatever to get my weed.. Might as well have stood up there and preached how addictive cigerettes are and deadly then any other drug so anyone smoking cigs in a retard.. lol iuno thanks anyways people
     
  11. If that were the case, I'd be brain dead by now...I been smoking daily for 27 years and I'm gonna be smoking when I'm old and gray in my rocking chair! :smoke:
     
  12. Haha funny stuff.
