Smoking high-strength cannabis may damage nerve fibres in brain. Here we go again.

Another anti-cannabis drug propaganda bullshit spew by various of "unnamed" scientists, notably Paola Jizz Dazzan:

"High-strength cannabis may damage nerve fibres that handle the flow of messages across the two halves of the brain, scientists claim. Brain scans of people who regularly smoked strong skunk-like cannabis revealed subtle differences in the white matter that connects the left and right hemispheres and carries signals from one side of the brain to the other."

What a load of bullshit; apparently that scientist didn't take Charlotte into account due to her neurological disorder - Cannabis resolve that issue.

It's okay to laced tobacco with Polonium-210 including other carcinogenic chemicals. Government says it's perfectly safe to smoke tobacco. Another reason why we cannot trust anything that the FDA, CDC, EPA, and other government agencies says. Also, there is no concrete evidence that smoking cannabis causes the kind of harm that tobacco smoke does. I'm sorry, Cannabis health benefits far outweighs tobacco on every level. Period. This type of study is just full of horseshit just like in the Nixon era back in the 60s with all of the medical studies which already have proven that Cannabis has medicinal values and eats cancer for breakfast; as a result of this study which made Nixon understandably furious, he classified Cannabis as schedule I drug for this reason ALONE. Now this stupid bitch is repeating the same thing back in the 60s.

Honestly the problem is if something like this was found out to be true no one would believe it at this stage.

Boy who cried wolf and all of that.

Ok then I must not have any left. I have smoked pot for 42 years and not one fucking problem. Now when I drank different story.

Complete bullshit. It's why kids did drugs when I grew up. They fucking lied about all of it. Now They see me and Tommy bonging right into old age. And let's not forget Willie.

And fuck this ass hat. So sad! When you guys have kids be sure and tell them they are all fucking lies! I told my kids over and over. Besides Sammy the bulls X it turned out well. For Sammy the bull to.

The Guardian are not the sort of newspaper I'd expect to be attacking the herb without at least some reason. Any link to the study so someone can give it the proper scrutiny? Hopefully scihub22266oqcxt have a copy.

Edit: This one?

Get intense anxiety, paranoia and twitching problems which causes some kind of psychosis when smoking and mild even when sober now.. Used to smoke everyday for 8 years, loved it to death but was forced to quit because of.. I've done extensive testing with it to make sure that was the problem. No need to bash just stating my experience..

Umm...yeah, actually cannabis and its related metabolites have been linked to such drastic effects in the hippocampus that most studies simply refer to its effects as "hippocampus removal".

Cannabis does indeed alter the reward pathways in the brain--especially after extended use. Please see this Dr's comment for sources as well as his comment history for other well-sourced (medical journals) arguments.

I'm not saying that this article isn't over-hyped to some extent, but on the other side, there is some truth to the fact that potent cannabis strains have significant impact on both the temporary function and long-term structure of the brain.

The article says that the white mass actually GROWS, not decay. How they stretch this as a bad thing is not cool man:

“That reflects a problem in the white matter that ultimately makes it less efficient,” Dazzan told the Guardian. “We don’t know exactly what it means for the person, but it suggests there is less efficient transfer of information.”

Bullshit.
