    So if you smoke weed for like 30+ years or something, does it really have any negative effects (sorry if it's supposed to be "affect")? I've heard weed kills brain cells, which obviously isn't noticeable if you take one hit of weed, but what about smoking Weed for your whole life? I'm sure this has been asked a lot, I just want to know.

    I've smoked for more than 40 years, not record-breaking amounts, but I think I'm doing OK.

    I hope this is a troll post.
     
    if not, no - weed does not kill brain cells. This came from the theory done during the mid-ish 70's.
    What happened was that scientists tested a very large amount of marijuana on monkeys via a gas mask.
    After 50 days or so, the monkeys started to die and it was declared that marijuana kills brain cells. It wasn't
    until years later they shared how they did the experiment, little did we know that they didn't provide oxygen in between
    all that smoke. After about a minute without oxygen, brain cells start to die. So the [monkeys] didn't actually die from
    marijuana, it was the asphyxiation.

    Look at cheech and chong, both very healthy. Tommy talks a bit slow but he's over 70 so that's like 60+ years of smoking

    Weed doesn't kill brain cells, that's a lie propagated by the government. The only thing it does to the brain is if your brain is still developing and you smoke a lot, it can affect that. But if you're already an adult, smoke away. And you used the correct "effect" by the way :)

    Affect=verb
    Effect=noun

    Now that we got our English lesson for the day out of the way...

    THC and CBD work synergistically to not only not kill any brain cells, but actually protect them. It is actually known to be a neuro protectant. They do kill tumor cells through a process known as "programmed cell death."

    The impersonation is fine.  I'm sure you realize it's just a colorful parody of the stereotypical stoner not the way he talks in real life.

    This was a fully serious question. I've just heard about it and wanted an answer.
