How many of you fell for the THC Jew?

I started smoking in my teens, but luckily I stopped about two years ago. Best decision I ever made.

Pot heads are revolting, they look dirty, never leave the house, except when they sit in the shade for 15 minutes because of muh nature and start talking about the clouds, or muhh "legalise, free da weed".
Absolutely degenerate.
This is because of the tar in weed, the same shit happens when you smoke too many cigarettes, you can feel the blood flow reducing to your brain. Sometimes if you cough and the air flow rearranges whatever in your ruined lungs you can feel the blood flow improve.
Would this be linked with the positive effects on epilepsy ?

>"While legalization of marijuana may open pathways to new treatment applications, this study shows reduced global cerebral perfusion in the brain of almost 1000 marijuana users, particularly in the hippocampus, a brain area vital for memory and learning and also vulnerable to reduced blood flow in Alzheimer's," study investigator Cyrus Raji, MD, PhD, from University of California, Los Angeles, told Medscape Medical News.
>Prior studies have suggested that the hippocampus physically shrinks with marijuana use, but none have looked at perfusion in a group this large, he noted.
"The finding that smoking pot is toxic to the brain was not a surprise," first author Daniel Amen, MD, from Amen Clinics Inc, Costa Mesa, California, told Medscape Medical News. "The thing that was surprising was the global reduction in blood flow and the decreases particularly in the right hippocampus."
The study was published online November 24 in the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease.
>Hippocampal perfusion in marijuana users was 13% lower on concentration scans compared with that in controls
>"Twenty-six states have legalized marijuana for recreational use, and quite frankly I am completely for legalization," Dr Amen added. "However, there are 10 states that have approved marijuana for dementia and that's just not smart."
>"There is no literature that marijuana is helpful in Alzheimer's disease," he said. "There are animal studies that show that marijuana can help break up β-amyloid plaque formation, which is thought to be one of the causes of Alzheimer's disease. From those animal studies, some people have inferred that this is good for Alzheimer's disease. The problem is that all of the amyloid drug trials are failing, so it's much more complex than that."
