    I use to smoke and I would forget shit all of the time. The day I stopped my memory went back to normal

    let me just solve this mystery for you. coughing kills brain cells. smoking weed causes coughing. therefore cannabis is a contributor to brain cell death because it makes you cough

    It was a fair video, as a pot smoker who argues for the legalization, I can’t find anything wrong with this video. Usually I find tons, but they were honest, that’s a good thing.

    Inhaling any type of smoke isn’t necessarily good for your body. The smoke is bad, not the cannabis. Moral, eat edibles

    Pointless video

    For anyone wondering, the woman is big time downplaying the risks of marijuana. She doesn’t even mention the fact that weed doubles your chance of developing psychosis.

    This pointless video killed my brain cells.

    These studies have been going on for years at UCLA. I had a friend who was part of that study from 1985 to 1995 when I had moved from L.A. He was in his late teens when he started. If you couldn’t find anything then, this makes me think this study is all about getting government grants so these researchers Dont have to get real jobs.

    -Sigh- Not informative at all.

    "Does Cannabis Kill Brain Cells?"
    "We don’t know"

    Why make a video on it



  14. Susan Robertson on April 15, 2019 at 9:48 pm

    Totally cool video 😎



  15. rollrunna on April 15, 2019 at 9:49 pm

    Brain cells are proven to be killed by many substances .. alcohol for one.. and Old age another



  16. William Mcc on April 15, 2019 at 9:51 pm

    Ok ok ok ….the real question is…Who is this girl???



  20. KNO on April 15, 2019 at 10:03 pm

    It totally slows me down. But I guess I have friends who smokes it too often whom it doesn’t affect them like that anymore. So yeah I guess you’ll just adapt to it. <— this comment is more useful than this video.

    Your video destroys brain cells



  22. Serai3 on April 15, 2019 at 10:07 pm

    So, in other words, this entire video was a complete waste of my time. Gee, thanks a lot. Certainly makes me eager to watch your other videos. * EYEROLL *



  23. AnnaKerbana on April 15, 2019 at 10:09 pm

    Omg. Did anyone else misread this as "Does cannibals kill brain cells?"?



  24. JGPixl on April 15, 2019 at 10:09 pm

    Bad video!



  25. ReaperCheGuevara Alexander on April 15, 2019 at 10:09 pm

    I’m sick of hearing that marijuana cures cancer. If it did my mom would be alive today. It is definitely beneficial to cancer patients but it doesn’t cure or prevent cancer.



  26. rollrunna on April 15, 2019 at 10:12 pm

    Total waste of my time…



  27. Noob Attempts on April 15, 2019 at 10:15 pm
