Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Monday, June 02, 2008

Long-term heavy use of marijuana may cause two important brain structures to shrink, Australian researchers said on Monday. Brain scans showed the hippocampus and amygdala were smaller in men who were heavy marijuana users compared to nonusers, the researchers said. The men had smoked at least five marijuana cigarettes daily for on average 20 years.

Is a Marijuana Cigarette the same as a Joint or is it a Spliff?
All things considered, I am still going to spark up a joint when I get done with work tonight. It well help reduce the pain of the tumor I am getting from using my cell phone.

...will...
i blame that on my reduced hippocampus and amygdala

This explains some of the wacky ideas libertarians come up with.

5 spliffs a day? It is amazing they aren't clinically retarded.

explains Bush being stupid.

Did they check with Willie?

Just wondering.

Why did we not know about this before the Election of 2000 maybe the World would not have to have dealt with the Idiot we have in the white House...Or shall I say this brain dead ASSHOLE!!!

George Washington toked about four pounds a year.

It's been downhill since Andy Jackson.

Bush Jr. doesnt smoke pot! come on! We all know hes a coke head. If hes been smoking anything it would be crack.

C'mon now. An ounce isn't heavy.

errr...I think statistics are not in your favor with this one, numb nuts.

He's a dry drunk and a coke head. Pot heads don't start wars...ask your liberal friends.

Do Whut Now?!

No wonder Spud has a brain the size of a walnut...or is that a new potato?

I like how smoking pot is considered a "Liberal" recreation.

Would make as much sense as if I stated: Cocaine use is primarily a "conservative" recreation.

All you right wing nuts should smoke a bowl sometime and realize that you aren't as important as you think you are.
Just relax and stop trying to make everyone into you. Your life sucks, its obvious since you are complaining so much.

Hey what makes a new potato new?? I mean if it's been on the shelf more than a day how can it be a new potato??

Larry

Hey what makes a new potato new??

"New Potatos" are about the size of a walnut...hence the reference.

Yeah I have seen those new potatoes in the grocery store. If they are around for more than a day how can they be called new??

Larry

C'mon now. An ounce isn't heavy.

"He ain't heavy...
He's my stash....."

They are called "new" because when they dig them out of the ground, they haven't had enough time to get bigger.

I've always believed that the drug isn't as harmless as some of you lefties have insinuated. It's nice that my beliefs are now being confirmed.

5 spliffs a day for 20 years? Wow.

Whatever happened to the propaganda that marijuana is harmless, safer than alcohol, and should be legalized?

Well, 2 out of 3 aren't bad, you fucking dumbass.

I lost a bet with myself. When I saw the title of the thread, I told myself that there would be a reference to Bush within the first three retorts. It was 5.

BTW, pargmatous, so very, very clever. Did you think that up all by yourself? Obvisously you don't have a shrinking brain problem! Retorts of that calibre seldom bestow themselves on those with an IQ less than 160.

Let's not forget that she started by announcing her "C" cups, but that wouldn't be impressive if her dress size was 14. Might as well go all the way "Sweetie" and either post the stats or link to a photo. And we definitely want to know if that blond hair is au naturale.

Compared to what, alchohol, benzene, cigarettes, meat, lead, mercury, spent uranium, cluster bombs, plutonium, ebola, or Capitalism?

Let's not forget that she started by announcing her "C" cups,

You guys started that with a wisecrack about "Rob in a bubblebath with CC and her C-cups" and I confirmed the size. End of story and you all have had your fun. Q & A is now over -- for good.

So y'all can just picture me as any type you want in your perverted little imaginations -- age 25 to 90, 5'1 to 6' tall, 95 pounds to Rosie O'Donnell size (nope!), redhead, blonde, brunette with blue, brown, green or black eyes. Continue to drool. You'll have much more fun just using your imagination.

Now let me go back to blogging.

P.S. -- OzarkAggie and Aunt Jomama only wish they could get in that hot tube with Kathy Bates. Being a redhead she'd probably eat them alive! hahahaha

Gotta love science with an agenda.

Now do a study on the effects of 1 joint a day....

No?

I wonder why.....

I don't smoke weed, I'll take an ice cold Michelob to wind down at the end of a tough one, but i'm pretty sure If I drank a 6-pack a night for 20 years I would probably have a few defects.

You'll have much more fun just using your imagination.

That's usually the case...The Blogger's Burden.

That being said. I also figured her for a 23 year old effeminate male...so....yeah....

So that is what is wrong with liberals.

I dunno Gus, she says blond but won't say "natural" but then those California Girls have all gone Brazilian so there's no way to be sure.

Age: Eligible for AARP; Height: 5-4; Weight: 145(+ grin); Optics: Wire Frames; Looks like: Think Diane Keaton (might as well).

that would explain much here at the 'tort.

Well, perhaps many people have thus avoided that large, square head of Hagee's Antichrist.

Seriously, the leading genius I know should have a pinhead according to this ginned-up study. But no, he's a genius, and on top of that everyone who knows him, left, right, and center, respects and adores him. Go figure.

Oh, well, at least we got some dang good music out of the shrunken heads. Rock on.

Don't Borgnine that joint!

In my experience, MJ significantly enlarges the area of the brain responsible for eating Cool Ranch Doritos.

It must be hell to be a liberal Democrat these days. All of your beliefs are being discredited. Man-made global warming was debunked just the other day. The surge is working and we're winning in Iraq. And now, marijuana is found to be harmful. Makes you just want to stay in bed, eh?

Five times a day for twenty years... Is anyone really surprised by the results of this survey?

I can only imagine what would happen if somebody drank 5 shots of booze, ate five Big Macs, took 5 tylenols, or drank 5 cans Coke, every day for twenty years.

I think the moral to this article is simply, when it comes to anything you ingest or inhale, moderation is the key.

And drinking too much water can cause the brain to swell and lead to an agonozing death. Next.

Five joints a day for 20 years? Who were their test subjects Cheech and Chong?

Economists rant on about "productivity" which measures the GNP/manhour from slave to attorney output. Elite resistance to drug use in society is rooted in squeezing more work out of those who have to work. A $299 debt from the Civil War is worth $2million today, which is why the elite never have to participate in "productivity" themselves.

In a free society you should have the right to be a pothead instead. Its your life.

Republicans don't smoke marijuana? Never ever?

You really need to knock that crap off.

Illicit drug use is hardly partisan related. I need not trot out a list of who did/does what and what the party affiliation is.

You just see it as yet another opportunity to bash dems and libs, like the repubs have been doing such a fine, upstanding job these last 8 years.

Point is, just about anything in moderation is not really cause for concern.

Anything can be overdone and thus fatal, even water, the lifeblood of Planet Earth.

I have yet to have anybody explain to me the justification for the incredible hypocrisy that exists concerning the illegality of marijuana, and other recreational drugs, while alcohol and tobacco, specifically cigarettes, remain freely available to those over 21, but yet cause more death and grief in a week than all the illicit drugs put together.

I suppose you can explain that little anomaly, yes?

Because in your perfect little regulated repub world, both alcohol and tobacco should also be render illegal.

It was tried with alcohol and was a miserable and total failure, just as the War on Drugs is today.

But I suppose you think it is far better to continue to toss 10s of billions down that rathole in a "war" that can never be won.

You'd think that instead of continuing the failure, it would be better to regulate distribution and tax the product. Think of the 10s of billions of tax revenue instead of 10s of billions pissed away.

People will continue to use illicit substances despite the laws. You are incredibly stoopyd if you think you can somehow stop this.

I agree that it is a waste of money to enforce drug laws.

However, taxing it to increase the size of government???? sorry, bad idea. Look at how large our govt it now and is it spending all it's huge sums of money where you want? Is it going to feed and clothe everyone? pay debt? fund SS properly? etc........

Again, stop spending money as though it is a crime problem and spend it where it should be spent......as a health problem.

eberly, revenue is revenue. Revenue is not a bad thing to have.

Legalization and control of certain rec drugs as is done with alcohol and tobacco would probably reduce the size of government a bit and free up resources to be deployed in much more needed areas.

I understand what you are saying but be careful of what you wish for.

Are you satisfied with where we spend all the money from alcohol and tobacco currently?

Once you feed the beast then you can't get the beast to go on a diet.

60% of our prison population is in for non-violent drug offenses. I know a man who did six years of hard time for growing two pot plants. Yet, legal prescription drugs kill far more people.

We waste money chasing potheads, we waste money locking them up. The criminal Justice system is rolling in dough. Privatized prisons have incentives to keep people in prison longer and feed and care for them poorly, increasing problems when prisoners are released back into society.

"Are you satisfied with where we spend all the money from alcohol and tobacco currently?"

That is a loaded question. I am most unsatisfied in general with how the US is expending (read: pissing away) its resources. And truthfully, I am just a wee bit worried. But this is a while different topic for discussion.

5 joints a day?
Who smokes that much?
I feel like i am a heavy user and I smoke less than a gram a week.

Yeah, I also have a problem with this 5 a day thing... and yet, we see people regularly smoking a pack of cigarrettes daily, ever increasing their chances for lung cancer and other problems, and yet we aren't bugging out over that?

As mentioned before (or at least I am fairly sure I have), I am for the decriminalization of all of these controlled substances. Yes, if in their drug-induced madness they kill somebody, they should be prosecuted to the fullest extent, but for the killing, not the drug use.

And, if they happen to kill themselves because of their habits, I won't shed tears either. Darwin wins.

seven doobies a day fore the last 33yr no prob.

I lost a bet with myself. When I saw the title of the thread, I told myself that there would be a reference to Bush within the first three retorts. It was 5.


C'mon Goat. Post a thread about marital infidelity or diddling chunky interns and within 5 posts will be 4 Bubba references.

It is just who he is. A Cokehead President.

I was gonna say something but I got the munchies and by the time I came back I forgot what we were talking about!

5 joints a day? That's a hell of alot of ganja. And alot of ganja wasted, i'd say.

Who are these men who can simultaneously smoke that much and still hold down a job without having their lungs turn to shit?

I'd say that their brains were smaller to begin with.

Correlation is not causation.

Great if I smoke weed it will eat away my brain, if I don't MS will eat away my brain. Either way I'm fucked.

Oh well might as well have fun with it, pass me a joint I still have 4 more to go today.

Oh, I'm sure some do. However, I firmly believe that the majority of pot smokers have more in common with liberal Democrats and not so much with conservative Republicans.

And, I won't knock it off. I'm enjoying this too much. Many of you lefties posting on this cite have openly admitted to being pot-heads. How proud the Democrats must be that dope-smoking lefties like you can identify with them.

That's fine with me. You lefties can continue damaging your last few remaining brain cells if you so desire. However, please remember this.

Thank jebus you didn't actually smoke any of that Evil Weed or you just might have discovered a few other things out about yourself and the world around that may have surprised you. We wouldn't want you to have an open mind or anything or you might become a librul and then you would have to change your name!

Nothing on this planet is truly harmless...and there is only one way off this planet that I know of and we all leave the out the same door. It is just a matter of what type of quality of life we will have until we get to the door.

I have smoked plenty of weed and I bet my brain is still more powerful than 90% of most "non-smokers" out there. Why can I can this?

Because I'm stoned! No...just kidding, because no matter what class I take no matter what activity I chose to do I am a LEADER and still ranking in the top 90 percentile. Is this proof of anything...nope! Just that I have a Oober brain and that I have a high tolerance to pot. So What! It is my preferred "cocktail" as it were. I don't drink much but I do enjoy a good smoke.

So get off yer "high" horses and "get over it" as you are so fond of saying Rightie-tighties. Weed is natural and if there is a God he put it there for us to use.

And so long as you don't abuse it (as with ANYTHING on this PLANET including Oxygen if ya abuse it it can kill ya) Marijuana is NOT harmful to you and is much better for you than alcohol and many prescription anti-depression, pain relief or appetite stimulants on the market.

But, don't believe me find out for yourself.

Most of what you think you know is obviously not true so look it up yourself. Or you can let Rev Hagee and the Death Cult tell you what to believe.

Your choice!

As for me...I choose a good stinky purple bud.

Who you calling lefty, Republican4ever?

Certainly not I.

But if I may...

"However, I firmly believe that the majority of pot smokers have more in common with liberal Democrats and not so much with conservative Republicans."

Then would it be correct to state that:

The majority of martini swillers have more in common with conservative Republicans and not so much with liberal Democrats.

Which then begs the question:

Who causes more death and mayhem: the pot smokers or the martini swillers?

In fact, I defy you to find any evidence at all that would indicate that pot smokers cause any death or mayhem

FTR, I don't smoke myself, though I do swill the occasional martini, marg, and TnT (with a twist).

Oddly enough, I could get myself falling drunk (which I don't, just occasionally comfortably numb) swilling marts and margs and be okay job wise. But if I were to smoke just one little bowl and get caught, I would lose my job and my career because of the rather strict terms of my employment.

And, oddly enough again, I would be far less dangerous, in fact, not dangerous at all if I was to do up some herb. But slide down a few frozen Blue Margs from The Loop...

I have smoked plenty of weed and I bet my brain is still more powerful than 90% of most "non-smokers" out there. Why can I can this?

LOL

"Great if I smoke weed it will eat away my brain"

Or you can simply join the Republican party and achieve the same effect.

Well, that's because you're an idiot.

selling it to get through college without smoking it is an entirely different scenario...on the other hand...some people i know made $2,400. per month...back in the day...

"Correlation is not causation."

QFT!

The subjects of this study were clearly at the extreme end of the bell-curve, and I'd not be surprised if it turned out that the investigators in this study were fishing for the correlation they ultimately obtained.

All the "told you so" gloating nonsense comes from those who don't understand the first thing about the brain, let alone the functions of the amygdalae or hippocampi...or even simple logic, it appears.

Perhaps there's another underlying factor in these individuals which is responsible for the decreased size of these specific brain structures, and smoking a whole lot of pot is just coincidental, or at best, an epiphenomenal corollary of this condition?

It is intellectually lazy (what a pot-head tendency!) to automatically assume that smoking weed (even extreme amounts over an extended period of time) causes one or both of the amygdalae or hippocampi, or this-or-that brain structure to shrink (to say nothing of the troubles with our common notion of causation).

Well, that's because you're an idiot."

Posted by TFDNihilist at 2008-06-03 10:18 PM

Really? You are the one smoking weed and you want to call me an idiot? I can't stop laughing at that one.

The researchers acknowledged that the study did not prove it was the marijuana and not some other factor that triggered these brain differences.

The test subjects admitted to using other illegal drugs during their life. In addition, none of the subjects have been participating in this study whilst toking everyday. So when the "researchers" claim their brain has shrunk, we must ask, "compared to what data?". How do they know parts of the brain shrunk if they didn't measure it 20 years ago and compare?!?

"7% decrease in the size of the amygdala", the part of the brain controlling aggression, and this is a bad thing? How so. Can someone explain how having more aggression makes one smarter or more capable?

My SO's mother has cancer. According to this study she has two choices: smoke the herb her ancestors have cultivated and used for thousands of years and lose a small percentage of the aggressive-controlling part of her brain over time, or stay on chemo and puke up every morsel of food and drop of water she ingest until she shrivels up and dies. Compassionate conservatives like Rebup4ever thinks she should just die of malnutrition so as not to upset his complete ignorance of plants and history. Me, I think he should die, hopefully of some debilitating painfull tramua that could be helped with medication he can't have.

Posted by r8rh8r at 2008-06-04 09:42 AM

Yes... Like I said earlier up on this thread, correlation is not causation.

Since when does a person's brain size determine ability, intelligence, or general health? Charles Barkley is 6ft10 with a head the size of a pumpkin. Does that mean his brain must be better than Einstein's at a mere 5ft9?

Barry Bonds' head grew three hat sizes over the last 10 years, he must be getting smarter, huh? Since brain size is the primary factor in intelligence and all.

Thanks for your kind thoughts. It's obvious that a course on civility was not present during your upbringing.

I smoke a couple a day, and am a genius. It's great for toothache as well. And great for relaxation without hangovers/addictions.

Btw The Research conducted by a professor (Pusztai) who, prior to said research, was a ardent supporter of GM foods, found that in just 100 days rats exhibited smaller brains (as well as livers & hearts) after being fed GM spuds.

This research was paid for by MONSANTO (proving said professor was indeed a GMF supporter).

After the research they more or less destroyed his career.

Yeah, but let's forget all about that and go after us potheads.

Thanks for your kind thoughts.

Who's the bigger fool? The one who smokes illegal dope, or the one who doesn't?

Dunno?

Ask someone who smokes "illegal dope". My hashberry came from a legal dispensary, grown legally and organically in the state I live in, prescribed by a doctor.

But really, I don't classify degrees of foolishness, that sounds like the workings of a fool. One fool is just as 'big' and detrimental as any other, fool.

You dopers are doing the devils handiwork! You get all hopped up on th marijauna and committ crimes and other sordid atrocities!

"...and committ crimes and other sordid atrocities!"

As opposed to those committed while drunk. LOL...

Good Afternoon, 101, sir. *salutes.

Lol, 101. Hey, pass the Doritos before I fuck you up!

I'm still laughing at both "dopers" and "devils handiwork".

They should have just made the headline read "Smoking 36,500 joints will shrink your brain"


Yes, that number is equal to 5 per day for 20 years.


36,500 of anything will do some damage.

It was the "sordid atrocities" that did it for me.

I never figured you for a fiddler, 101: books.google.com's+handiwork+sayings&source=web&ots=DtGI46_p_N&sig=yt7QFNeVClqBBItEzqK4HXt74OE&hl=en

Damn - can't get the link to cut and paste. Must be Time Warner.

Shit, now I have to go count my orgasms.

Compare the ravages of Pot to the ravages of Alcohol!

On the other hand "Heavy Alcohol" use shrinks the brain and the liver,destroys the heart,kidneys and the pancreas plus modreate to heavy alcohol use is responsible for the majority of traffic accidents and fatalities and domestic violence! Oh yes also alcohol is a completely "legal" drug!

Although alcohol is legal, it's funny how you forgot to mention that driving under the influence is illegal.
