Are you one of those closed minded assholes that forms opinions based on the outdated knowledge they use in anti-weed propaganda? How about a real medical study, via WebMD:

Heavy Marijuana Use Doesn't Damage Brain

July 1, 2003 -- Long-term and even daily marijuana use doesn't appear to cause permanent brain damage, adding to evidence that it can be a safe and effective treatment for a wide range of diseases, say researchers. The researchers found only a "very small" impairment in memory and learning among long-term marijuana users. Otherwise, scores on thinking tests were similar to those who don't smoke marijuana. Researchers say impairments were less than what is typically found from using alcohol or other drugs.

While the drug does have some downsides to it, like temporarily increasing your risk of heart attack right after you smoke (although not any worse than sex), or causing harm to fetuses. And while it isn't great for your lungs, studies show that unlike tabacco smoke which causes cancer and heart disease, marijuana smoke isn't linked with being fatal http://my.webmd.com/content/article/...-9531713CA348}. And now studies are saying that chemicals in marijuana may even alleviate depression.

So before you come on some board spewing off bullshit about how marijuana is bad and making yourself look like an ass hat, please do your research.
