It's probably because mankind uses only about 2% of brain capacity, so a lot of cells could die before any effects were felt.
I don't have any information on using it making you smarter - I doubt it. The reason marijuana is so appealing is that it lacks some of the effects of booze - aggressive behavior and the urge to get behind the wheel of a car and do wreckless things. But the longer-term effects of marijuana are that it stunts your creativity and makes you lazy and withdrawn.
But the absolutely most important reason to stay away is because to get it you are forced to associate with people that may or may not stop with dealing the "good" drugs, and you may wind up running with a crowd that says : "hey, they got it wrong with grass, so maybe the government is wrong on smack too", or they may have trouble not breaking the law because they've already broken one of them, so they have nothing to lose by going further.
I am not totally down on it and think medical marijuana is an appropriate treatment for certain things. But again, how many of your friends have cards and sell their stash?
In the ideal world it would be legalized and licensed just like booze, but for now it's not a good thing to be involved in.

if you smoke weed, the stuff you inhale can cross the blood-brain-barrier. thats the barrier that keeps inwanted things like some meds etc to reach the brain, but it has small pores and if the substance is small enough it will reach the brain. the reason it kills brain cells is that it takes up all the nutrients the brain needs to function like oxygen and uses or mutates some of the glucose etc. your body can then get acidotic. same with alcohol except it first attacks the reticular formation that is responsible for some of your balance and memory and driving skills and then it reaches the brain - you first get tipsy before getting drunk.

I think you have to take away the "smart/stupid" people part of the equation. What you are talking about here is a human's need to get away from reality- addiction. Some use alcohol, some weed, some exercise, some a hobby- really, it's a human condition- we all need something to get away from facing the reality of who we are or what we have to learn on the planet.

Reread your question.... I'm sure those brain cells that would have remembered "school" after the word "my" aren't dead... maybe they just went on vacation...
