An article was published recently in the Journal of Neuroscience
related to abnormal changes in the brain associated with the recreational use
of marijuana. The degree of brain abnormalities in these regions is directly
related to the number of joints a person smoked per week. The more joints a
person smoked, the more abnormal the shape, volume and density of the brain
regions. According to Dr. Breiter, this study raises a strong challenge to the
idea that casual marijuana use isn’t associated with negative consequences.
Some of the participants “used marijuana to get high once or twice a week. People
think a little recreational use shouldn’t cause a problem if someone is doing
okay with work or school. Our data directly says this is not the case.” Part 3
tomorrow.
