Cannabis has not been proven to damage the brain at all. There was a study that has shown that it instead stimulates brain cell growth. The study that showed that damaged the brain was found out that they had monkeys that were suppose to smoke 30 joints a day in this test. They found out the study was not done that way. Instead they put these masks on the monkeys for 5 minutes a day, and starved them of air and just pumped smoke of marijuana. Most of the monkeys died and when they did they counted the brain cells of the monkey before they were on Marijuana and after when they were dead. Since they were suffocated that is how they lost the brain cells not from anything the Marijuana did. Now all studies on marijuana have not shown any damage to the brain, but as i stated earlier it stimulates brain cell growth.

Can you lose your nose from sniffing cannabis?

No, you cannot. If you are refering to smelling cannabis, you cannot. Generally, any wear or tear your nose receives from physical contact with objects does damage it. However, the smell of cannabis does not damage one's nose. No smells damage the nose alone. There have been no reported cases, to my knowledge, of cannabis users insufflating the plant--for it does not have any psychotropic effects unless it is heated.
