-- Posted by lauz0987 at 3:22 pm on Nov. 29, 2007 While high, i think a lot more in depth...i think of things in different ways and analyze everythign around me.  I think it expands my mind, to things i would or could never think of unless i were high.  I have had some AMAGING conversations while high,and everyone around me is also smart and think of amazing things.  And  to the non smokers out there this is not only because we are high it is a fact.  Some things we come up with blow my mind away.  I use to love it, now i grew out of it i just smoke on occasion at parties or by myself to relax, do laundry, get motivated, and stuff like that but back in the day wen i was 14/15 i once thought about weed and really thought why do i feel so smart and why is everything so much better while high. First off weed kills brain cells does it not?  Yes it does, now i truely believe and this is my own opinion, that weed kills brain cells because  when high we use all those cells at a higher rate. Why is eveything intensified while high, for exapmle taste, touch, feelings, thoughts, everything, when cold the cold is 10 times worse, when hot the heat is alot worse as well, this is because the brain cells are being used more, were using alot more while we are high changing and altering how we think and feel. I believe that this is the reason that smokers have amazing conversations because the mind expands in ways  that are undescribable, now because of all the braincells used they invevitably die....causing killed brain cells....but i think its worth it, because i wouldnt be who i am today with out the things i have leared and thought about after smoking. Does anyone else think this may be true???   -- Posted by SnwBordr69 at 3:24 pm on Nov. 29, 2007 agree, smokin weed makes u smarter and think in depth despite that it detroys brain cells... -- Posted by BeautifulDiaster at 3:24 pm on Nov. 29, 2007 I do... im 14 and i am at your stage when you was my age... everythings better while high bla bla bla... i believe it is true -- Posted by som 88 at 3:24 pm on Nov. 29, 2007 yea weed makes you a hell of a lot smarter and music sounds great while high .....even rock music -- Posted by uniqueasfuck at 3:25 pm on Nov. 29, 2007 WEED PUTS BRAIN CELLS IN A COMMA THEY COME BACK -- Posted by trader at 3:25 pm on Nov. 29, 2007 You're a fucktard that lacks basics understand of marijuana. The feeling of 'highness' is strictly due to the fact that brain cells are being perished, lowering the amount of electrical impulses in your brain. It has nothing to do with "being used up more often". And certainly, you're not any smarter when you're high. If anything, you're dumber. -- Posted by som 88 at 3:27 pm on Nov. 29, 2007 Quote: from trader at 3:25 pm on Nov. 29, 2007 You're a fucktard that lacks basics understand of marijuana.

However, new research suggests the situation may be more uplifting than that. A drug that functions as concentrated marijuana does may spur neurogenesis, the process by which the brain gives birth to new nerve cells. Previous research had suggested that neurogenesis happens only in select locations in the brain, such as the hippocampus, a region involved in learning and memory. Some studies have shown that this process is inhibited by most illicit drugs, such as cocaine, heroin, and methamphetamine. However, says Xia Zhang of the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon, marijuana's effect on neurogenesis has not been clear. He and his colleagues started investigating this mystery by searching cell surfaces in live, cultured slices of rat hippocampus for receptors that respond to marijuana and a few other similar drugs, called cannabinoids. They reasoned that if marijuana affected neurogenesis in the hippocampus, then cells in that area must have a way to recognize the drug. Sure enough, 95 percent of hippocampus cells responsible for neurogenesis showed evidence of cannabinoid 1 (CB1) receptors, one of two receptors that respond to cannabinoid drugs. Next, Zhang's team incubated samples Read the rest of the article. -- Posted by your poison at 5:48 pm on Nov. 29, 2007 for me, if i start thinking aobut something, i'll think about to a ridiculous extent. like what to drink, i will stand there and ponder for like 10 minutes. i just love weed. does crazzy shit but i love it. -- Posted by jamestown at 7:01 pm on Nov. 29, 2007 Myth: Marijuana Kills Brain Cells. Used over time, marijuana permanently alters brain structure and function, causing memory loss, cognitive impairment, personality deterioration, and reduced productivity. Fact: None of the medical tests currently used to detect brain damage in humans have found harm from marijuana, even from long term high-dose use. An early study reported brain damage in rhesus monkeys after six months exposure to high concentrations of marijuana smoke. In a recent, more carefully conducted study, researchers found no evidence of brain abnormality in monkeys that were forced to inhale the equivalent of four to five marijuana cigarettes every day for a year. The claim that marijuana kills brain cells is based on a speculative report dating back a quarter of a century that has never been supported by any scientific study. Weed doesn't kill braincells, weed puts braincells on standby. EDIT: HOWEVER, heavy smoking kills brain cells. And so does alcohol. So if you don't want to be brain dead, drink less beer and smoke better quality pot. -- Posted by TheOtherHorseman at 9:53 am on Dec. 7, 2007 Most people here need to not talk, as a rule. -- Posted by Micus at 9:13 am on Dec. 19, 2007 First off weed kills brain cells does it not?  Yes it does, now i truely believe and this is my own opinion, that weed kills brain cells because  when high we use all those cells at a higher rate. Are you stupid or what -- Posted by mummala at 2:40 pm on Dec. 30, 2007 i seriously love the people that posted on this forum topic..seriously. I just stopped smoking.. I did it for a while, but I am just kind of easing down because my best friend has to do a drug test for probation, so himself, and 3 of my other good friends all made a pact to not smoke so that it can kinda help him out..but back to my point. you all are so chill and shit. i posted in other parts on here and people were total assholes. I dont think this is related to the fact that weed is involved at all because i am sure most of you werent high when you wrote this, but just in general..you guys are cool. I have gotten totally criticized on here and it is a pain in the ass when people are so fucking rude to you for no reason what so ever..so thanks guys..you brightened my day -- Posted by Dickstar at 6:57 pm on Jan. 7, 2008 Weed is so overrated.

And studies have shown it doesn't kill brain cells, however, it does temporarily impair brain function. Try being sober around high people and you'll see that that's true.
