DOES WEED KILL BRAIN CELLS?
2
A number of studies done in the 1970s that
revealed cannabis usage resulted in brain damage
are said to be the origin of the notion that
marijuana kills brain cells. Many of these
studies, nevertheless, have now been disproved as
a result of flawed methodology or incorrect data
analysis. Recent studies have revealed that the
connection between cannabis and brain cells is
far more nuanced than previously thought.

The Brain and the Endocannabinoid System
The endocannabinoid system is a complex
cell-signaling system that plays a critical role
in regulating a wide range of physiological
processes, including mood, appetite, and pain
sensation.

THC and CBD's Impacts on Brain Cells
THC and CBD have different impacts on brain
cells. THC can alter neural communication,
potentially affecting mood and cognition, while
CBD has neuroprotective properties, potentially
reducing damage and inflammation in the brain.
Further research is needed to fully understand
their effects.

Cannabis and Brain Development
Cannabis use during adolescence may have
long-term impacts on brain development, including
changes to brain structure and function. Research
suggests that regular use may impair cognitive
function, memory, and attention, and increase the
risk of mental health disorders.
6
Neurogenesis and Cannabis
Neurogenesis is the process of generating new
neurons in the brain. Some studies suggest that
cannabis use may impact neurogenesis, potentially
reducing the production of new neurons. However,
the exact mechanisms and long-term effects of
this are still not well understood and require
further research.
