"Heavy Marijuana use shrinks brain parts"

This study is pretty much bunk, I hate how the media picks up on this BS. The sample size has 15 extremely heavy users(abusers) of cannabis. The low side was 5 joints a day for 20 years. If you downed a 6 pack of beer every day for 20 years your ENTIRE brain would shrink from the alcoholism.

It is common knowledge that parts of your brain that you exercise become larger and parts that don't recede, which does not mean that part is unable to recover. That is the lurking variable in this study.
 
I'm a patient with a chronic illness of the brain and spinal cord, called "Multiple Sclerosis"...
the ONLY drug that prevents my arms, legs, shoulders and other body parts from having spasms and seizures, is MARIJUANA!!! - I would take "MaryJane" over any prescribed pain-medicines or seizure medications, like Neurontin, ANY - DAY!!!!
