Debunking Cannabis Myths

08/05/2025

Myth: "Cannabis kills brain cells."
🔬 The Origin of the Myth
This claim traces back to anti-drug propaganda films from the 1930s and 1970s, like Re**er Madness and later misinformation campaigns that inaccurately cited flawed studies. One infamous study from the 1970s involved suffocating monkeys with cannabis smoke, which led to brain cell death—not because of THC, but due to lack of oxygen.

🧠 What Science Actually Shows
Modern studies have debunked this myth:

THC does not kill brain cells. In fact, research shows it interacts with the endocannabinoid system, regulating things like mood, memory, appetite, and pain.

A 2003 study published in The Journal of Clinical Investigation even suggested cannabinoids might have neuroprotective properties, potentially shielding brain cells from damage in conditions like stroke or trauma.

While heavy, long-term use—especially in adolescents—may affect memory, motivation, and cognitive function, that is not the same as cell death.

✅ The Real Nuance
Cannabis, like alcohol or any drug, can impair short-term memory and cognition during use. But:

These effects are usually temporary and reversible with abstinence.

It does not destroy neurons like hard drugs (e.g., m**h or alcohol in high doses) can.
