Marijuana affects your brain. THC (the active ingredient in marijuana) affects the nerve cells in the part of the brain where memories are formed.
Marijuana affects your self-control. Marijuana can seriously affect your sense of time and your coordination, impacting things like driving. In 2002, nearly 120,000 people were admitted to emergency rooms suffering from marijuana-related problems, an increase of more than 139 percent since 1995.1
Marijuana affects your lungs. There are more than 400 known chemicals in marijuana. A single joint contains four times as much cancer-causing tar as a filtered cigarette.2
Marijuana affects other aspects of your health. Marijuana can limit your body's ability to fight off infection.3 Long-term marijuana use can even increase the risk of developing certain mental illnesses.4
Marijuana is not always what it seems. Marijuana can be laced with other dangerous drugs without your knowledge. "Blunts"--hollowed-out cigars filled with marijuana--sometimes have substances such as crack cocaine, PCP, or embalming fluid added.
Marijuana can be addictive. Not everyone who uses marijuana becomes addicted, but some users do develop signs of dependence. In 1999, more than 220,000 people entered drug treatment programs to kick their marijuana habit.5
Know the law. It is illegal to buy or sell marijuana. In most States, holding even small amounts of marijuana can lead to fines or arrest.
Get the facts. Smoking any substance--tobacco, marijuana, or crack cocaine--increases your risk of developing pneumonia and other illnesses.6
Stay informed. It has not yet been proven that using marijuana leads to using other drugs. But very few people use other drugs without first using marijuana. Teens who smoke marijuana are more likely to try other drugs, in part because they have more contact with people who use and sell them.
Know the risks. Using marijuana or other drugs increases your risk of injury from car crashes, falls, burns, drowning, and other accidents.
Keep your edge. Marijuana affects your judgment, drains your motivation, and can make you feel anxious.

No, some of the best rock music in the world was created while the band members were under the influence of good ol' Mary Jane.

long term use has been proven to kill brain cells and decrease memory. it depends on how much you do it. if that was the first time then the fact that you did it last night won't matter. but i would stop if i were you. i've seen too many people drop out of school because of drugs.

It's never been clinically proven, but it can alter your function some on a short term basis. If you don't smoke anymore, you should do ok on your tests. Make sure to get lots of rest though.

Marijuana does not make you dumb. over an extremely long period of time it will. along with cigarettes and alcohol, marijuana reduces brain cells and and over a long period of time you can lose a significant amount of them.
along with losing brain cells marijuana causes other medical problems. it causes many different types of cancer. including lung, throat, and mouth. marijuana has 4 times the amount of tar and chemicals that cigarettes have in them. which can cause you to have a hole in your throat. you wont be able to breath out of your mouth. you will not be able to talk hardly at all without one of those devices. and on average you will cough up 2 cups of mucus a day.
soooo how does that sound???

I blew an interview for a ' no brainer ' job in september and I had it in my system - It does not make you dumb BUT it slows you down and when you are on it you can say dumb things since you are high and your inhibitions have gone down

It doesn't help in intellectual performance. And of course heavy use is harmful

It already has.
You didn't use any upper case letters and couldn't even spell the word 'you' correctly.
