Depriving your brain of oxygen kills brains cells, smoke of any kind deprives your brain of oxygen...so smoking marijuana kills brain cells?

• Oh, how silly of me. Of course a substance which intoxicates your brain has no effect on it what so ever! Marijuana will make you retarded over a long period of time of heavy use.

• Hail oh dim one, lest you didn't know, they have found the brain receptor( almost 30 years ago) for the endo-genic THC (about 2 years ago) Things that bind to that site bestow a general feeling of well being. When you get too much CHRONICALLY, the receptors naturally turn themselves off and when dose goes down they become available again. What will the anti-depressant sellers do when it goes legal.

• Pizzler - a single study has ever shown that smoking marijuana kills brain cells. You can look this study up, just Google "Heath Tulane Study." It's true that the study was intended to show that marijuana use killed brain cells, but that's not what they truly found out. Dr. Heath was supposed to administer 30 marijuana joints a day to rhesus monkeys every day for one year. Instead, Dr. Heath strapped the monkeys into chairs, strapped gas masks over their faces, and pumped not 30 joints, but SIXTY THREE joints through the mask over the course of five minutes, without additional oxygen. Instead of waiting the entire year, he simply killed the monkeys after three months and then counted their dead brain cells. Well, anybody could say that yes, these monkeys had dead brain cells, but it wasn't because of the pot; Dr. Heath suffocated the monkeys every single day and exposed them to highly toxic levels of carbon monoxide just so he wouldn't have to pay his research assistant for an entire year. There have been no studies since then, not one single study since 1974 (or before that, for that matter) that have shown that marijuana kills brain cells. It simply isn't true, yet somehow this nonsense still gets blurted out in every discussion about pot. Learn the facts before you speak next time.

• settle down big guy, you just restated my point.. i know its fun to let off steam, but we're on the same team, so smoke some green, and chill out.
  
  to clarify, pot only kills brain cells if you suffocate yourself at the same time (in other werdz, it doesn't), but smoke can be dangerous, i don't care what it comes froms. Smoke is carcinogenic by nature, and is therefore prone to host cancerous materials. so vape your herb, or bake it up....if you care..

• I stopped smoking about 6 years ago(for the most part anyway) but I always used the longest pipe I could put together and over the years my favorite was a 10 or 14 inch 2 right turns L shaped 7 or 9 chamber pipe, between connector rings, elbows and half bowls and male thread connectors 45 to 68 pieces. The chambers act as venturi zones to cool the smoke by expansion and the internal threads offer surface area to cool the passing smoke. Or long Bongs.
  I have seen COPD kill, and I am one who warns others as well as you do.
