     @tj exactly zero evidence pot kills brain cells.

     Based on my housemate, they also kill brain cells.

     Anyway, it will be a long time before this research leads to results:

     "These studies are considered by the NCI as preclinical. They were all done using animals. According to them, no clinical trials of cannabis use for the treatment of cancer in humans have been published."

     "Brain health: Marijuana can cause permanent IQ loss of as much as 8 points when people start using it at a young age. These IQ points do not come back, even after quitting marijuana."

     The key here is "at a young age". People who don't start pot until their late 20's have fewer mental side effects than those that start in their teens.
