Is marijuana bad for your brain? – Anees Bahji
Explore how marijuana’s two main active compounds, THC and CBD, affect your brain and body, and what risk factors to watch out for.
—
In 1970, marijuana was classified as a schedule 1 drug in the United States: the strictest designation possible, meaning it was completely illegal and had no recognized medical uses. Today, marijuana’s therapeutic benefits are widely acknowledged, but a growing recognition for its medical value doesn’t answer the question: is recreational marijuana use bad for your brain? Anees Bahji investigates.

What is matter ?ne
ver mi nd.
Weed is addictive and there are withdrawals if u are a heavy smoker 4 sure
So this entire thing just says “is marijuana bad for your brain? I don’t know, but I’m gonna make the video anyway” lol We don’t understand our brains yet. And I do believe this world is intertwined with the physical & the spiritual. And the spiritual influences the physical
HOW GOD DELIVERED ME FROM SMOKING WEED! https://youtu.be/E8VEO1-u1Pk
I was 13 years old when I first smoked weed😁 but still after 7 years iam not addicted to it sometimes I smoke regularly for a month and then I do break for enough time 😉.
If you smoked weed once as an early 15 year old would that permanently affect your brain?
Joe Rogan appears.
two words SNOOP DOGG
smoking under 25 is one of the most detrimental things a young person can do
watching while smoking weed ….
Good explanation!
What research are they referencing? It has been too difficult to study. I have no idea how they actually know anything.
As an epileptic it really helps
My goodness look at all the Criminals in this comment section. Unsavory and very distasteful stoners
When someone loves you, the way they talk about you is different. You feel safe and comfortable.
ya allah plz forgive me stop watching this.
They allow alcohol and cigarettes but not weed…
me being 15 watching this: 👁👄👁
Very well explained
Yes age is risky. Agreed. Weed does help solvent brain development and learning ability. It’s cool

I just noticed that the leaf’s eyes were red~ 😹
Also why is this animated so cutely~
i noticed weed smokers aint heavy drinkers
Seemed heavily slanted toward the rare negative effects.
I can’t remember what I was going to say, but it was a revealing thought.
I know it’s hard, as a young person.
But there has been a noted phenomenon in big, severe teen potheads, who become paranoid when they smoke in their 20s and beyond.
Do it only occasionally, so you can enjoy it life long. Don’t do what I did and ruin it for myself. I’m not talking about psychosis. Just uncomfortable reactions
Yang pilih allah like.
Just be careful is all i have to say, Ive smoked for 10 plus years now constantly almost everyday, and the first ten years or so were great, but then my brain broke and developed schizophrenia, now when i smoke i have delusions and hallucinations that would never happen before. I still smoke a little but am looking at quitting for good. My advice just be careful you never know one day your smoking and feeling great the next your having psychotic episodes and your entire life unravels.
What is matter never mind…
Is smoking crack bad for you ?
Watching this high is a different experience to this background music
Its similar to alcohol, you use too much of it your life will be effected in a negative way. As long as people learn to use it responsibly there are no issues.
Just be high n don’t think.
0:21 they got my boy shaggy 😤
nono
if we’re watching this, it means we still care enough about health and science to be responsible enough to keep smoking weed
Good news, if it does slow your brain, you can simply learn a new language and that makes your brain function much better.
the Mexican congress just approved legalization
of MARIJUANA
the MSM won’t report it
MEXICO CITY – Mexican senators on Friday began weighing a sweeping initiative to legalize recreational use and sale of marijuana, a proposal that could create the world’s largest weed market in a country battered by a violent war against drug gangs
Discussed by the Senate’s health, justice, and legislative studies commissions on Friday, the marijuana bill would allow licensed sale of pot, let users carry up to 28 grams of the drug and grow as many as four cannabis plants in their homes.
The bill, which has been amended since senators initially approved it in March, regulates the cultivation, production, distribution, sale, and consumption of cannabis. The law will allow adults 18 and older to purchase and possess up to 28 grams of cannabis, and to cultivate up to six plants for personal use (eight if more than one consumer lives under the same roof). The bill would also expunge criminal records related to the possession of cannabis.
