None. The thought that marijuana kills brain cells is a common misconception.

It offers neuroprotection, meaning it protects nerves and brain cells. There is also some evidence that it may facilitate brain cell development. The US DHS confirms the scientific research that marijuana can be used as a neuroprotectant and antioxidant, it hold the patent to these uses patent no. 6630507

What side effects do you get from using cannibas?

Due to government and propaganda, and the drug war, and the DEA, and ridiculous programs such as DARE many people such as yourself are inclined to believe that what information the government relays to you through their "studies" marijuana is a harmful and dangerous substance with many negative side effects. Marijuana has generally NO side effects (other than that pesky cough. Yet the government has claimed to the public for centuries that marijuana destroys brain cells, causes heart problems, and cancer. At best marijuana MAY destroy some brain cells, but that is a risk accepted when consuming any mind altering substance. Don't take their word for it, but don't take mine either. Educate yourself about marijuana through your own studies. I hope you can easily burn one when you're finished and say marijuana is the least harmful drug known to man. (Because it is)

What does marijuana do to your?

VERY BAD FOR YOU can lead to all cancers, diseases, abusing, and so much more all can lead to death talk top your doctor or someone if you or someone is on itAnother ViewPlease quit propagating false propaganda that has been dis proven multiple times by multiple scientific studies. Most doctors nowadays actually support medical marijuana and believe in the multitude of uses for it to help the ill.Studies show that it actually inhibits 9 different types of cancer, with more being discovered about it all the time. There has never been any studies that prove that it could cause cancer, either. You are spreading falsehoods and need to update your facts, because you are still stuck in the 30s and 40s falling for marijuana propaganda. I hope one day you start using your brain and thinking for yourselves and not merely re-spewing falsehoods that you were stupid enough to believe when they were told to youjust to add on: there have been studies recently to prove that marijuana doesn't kill brain cells but actually does the opposite and stimulates brain cells.what it does is get you high!More InformationThe myth that marijuana kills brain cells is the result of a very poor study conducted many years ago where they said they administered marijuana to monkeys and monitored their brains. Their conclusion was that marijuana did kill brain cells and in fact caused death.The way in which the study was conducted was not made public until a lot of campaigning for more information. It turned out that the study involved pumping pure smoke in to the monkeys airways with not additional oxygen. The truth is that the monkeys were suffocated with the smoke. Extreme lack of oxygen results in brain cell death.There has also been talk that using marijuana can cause and/or provoke the onset of schizophrenia. This has almost entirely been based on the fact that a large percent of schizophrenia patients are also marijuana users. It is believe that although marijuana does not create schizophrenia it may trigger schizophrenia in already prone individuals. It may also be true that schizophrenia patients simply find comfort in consuming marijuana.


What could happen if you use 100 percent of your braincells?

unfortunately we already are using all of our "brain cells". we have no extra brain, despite the popular misconception.
