MYTH: MARIJUANA KILLS BRAIN CELLS. Used over time, marijuana permanently alters brain structure and function, causing memory loss, cognitive impairment, personality deterioration, and reduced productivity.
FACT: None of the medical tests currently used to detect brain damage in humans have found harm from marijuana, even from long term high-dose use. An early study reported brain damage in rhesus monkeys after six months exposure to high concentrations of marijuana smoke. In a recent, more carefully conducted study, researchers found no evidence of brain abnormality in monkeys that were forced to inhale the equivalent of four to five marijuana cigarettes every day for a year. The claim that marijuana kills brain cells is based on a speculative report dating back a quarter of a century that has never been supported by any scientific study.

Life kills brain cells - does that mean "brain damage"? Marijuana doesn't cause permanent brain damage, but it's use can alter the way the brain uses some chemicals. But, this isn't permanent. It is certainly not anywhere nearly as damaging as alcohol, nor does it impact society of the cost of healthcare nearly as much as alcohol. It does impair memory and motivation, though.

well, think about it. The lungs are sensitive tissue. Smoke harms sensitive tissue. Common sense. Brain damage??well, eventually smoking pot long term will cause psychological brain damage. Personality changes and lack of motivation.. Smoke kills cells period. It is not good in the long term. Pot will eventually railroad you off the mainstream of life. Therefore you will appear brain damged.

no it does not cause brain damage. it can cause temporary short term memory loss though....and not all users just sit around. I know a lot of people who do it, and you would never even know, they work and live just like everybody else. you would be really surprised at how many people do it..... (I personaly dont like the paranoia, so idont do it)
