44 years. 5,000+ people. Zero proof cannabis permanently wrecks your brain.
That’s the verdict from a study that followed people for over four decades. No permanent IQ loss. And the twist? Users actually showed less cognitive decline than non-users as they got older.
So much for the “weed kills brain cells” lecture we all grew up on. The brain is way tougher than anyone gave it credit for.
Don’t roll a victory joint yet, though. Experts say heavy, high-potency use still carries real risks, like possible DNA and immune system changes, plus higher odds of anxiety and psychosis in sensitive users.
Then there’s CHS. That brutal nausea nobody wants.
Your smarts might be safe. How much and how strong still counts.
