Not very much. It's a quite safe drug for long term use. Can damage lung cells, causing cancer if snorted for long periods of time.

In general, damage to brain cells is often irreversible. This is because the cells in the brain cannot renew themselves or divide to make new cells to replace those damaged cells.
