Ok so, I know this is off topic but I hate waiting lol, I have a problem with being patient. So anyway lol, I was wondering, if for example you, had smoked a considerable ammount of weed (this included bongs, and joints with other substances - THC crystals, coke, and other genetically modified weed) in your youth, but you are not suffering too badly even though you are more anxious and paranoid but its not like you are hallucinating or anything -

do your brain cells die from smoking?
Because I hold my memory and intelligence as top priority, and I am finding it hard to digest information nowadays.
If the answer is yes, I am not joking, i will cry, because I used to be so smart.
I am wondering if I killed my brain. *sobs*
*further cute sobs*

" well... for me, in my experience and in my opinion, eventually... your brain returns to full function after some time of NOT smoking it... the cloud clears in time... your brain is back to what it should be. "

" I used to smoke it for years. Then I quit for about a year before going to college and ended up graduating top of my class.

Hope this helps. "

" It can affect some people badly, it depends on what type you are smoking.
It is much more potent than it was in my 'Hippie days' I smoked it on a regular basis for only a couple of years.
My husband becane schitzophrenic and I lost a few best friends to suicide.
I am now 57, and have had mental illness ever since. But then you have to be stupid to do it in the first place.
My IQ increased, my skills were never affected, just stop now and live with the fact there is nothing you can do about it now.
It is known to damage brain cells and they cannot regenerate but others will take their place.
I don't think you should 'worry', it causes more harm than cannibis ever will. "

" O.K. I was not going to reply, because I don't want to make anyone cry or upset them further, however it most certainly does affect your brain cells, kills them ,and the damage incurred is equivalent to the amount you consumed.

My husband used to smoke a great deal with his ex-wife.

I spent $11,000 in the past two days and he didn't even notice.

Godd for me, but bad for his brain. "
