"Brain Health
Marijuana's main psychoactive ingredient, delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), attaches to the brain's cannabinoid receptors. These receptors connect to nerves in the brain that influence pleasure, memory, thought, concentration, sensory and time perception, and coordinated movement.

Multiple studies have linked marijuana use with a higher risk of the following psychotic symptoms:2

Delusions
Disorganized thinking and speech
Hallucinations
Teen marijuana use is also linked to an increased risk of depression and suicidal behavior.3"

I have never thought smoking grass could do you any good. I tend to agree with you on this. We still are at odds over the Velveeta which I still say is yummy in certain things. I did get your message and you were right~~~~We all should have seen that coming. The older I get, the more puzzled I am over human behavior.
