From the annals of useless studies on marijuana usage comes this useless report from yesterday stating that heavy marijuana use contributes to brain shrinkage. So what exactly is meant by "heavy marijuana use" in this context?
Brain scans showed the hippocampus and amygdala were smaller in men who were heavy marijuana users compared to nonusers, the researchers said. The men had smoked at least five marijuana cigarettes daily for on average 20 years.
Who the fuck smokes five joints a day? This is total misinformation in its most egregious form! No shit, if you smoke five joints a day for 20 years bad things are going to happen to you physically. Hey, I bet if I ate a pound of celery daily for twenty years, something odd would happen to me.
Most marijuana users smoke FAR less than that in a WEEK...let alone a day! There's nothing to be gained from crap studies like this other than to induce fear in the general misinformed public so we can continue to maintain a drug policy that clearly doesn't work. Now where did I leave my dugout?
