Pot grows brain cells

In encouraging news for college freshmen, a Canadian study found that large, regular doses of marijuana may help to grow more brain cells and repair neurons in the hippocampus. However, low doses were not found to have the same effect. Marijuana can help induce appetite, relieve glaucoma, help with depression, and even grow brain cells. Is there anything this wonder drug can't do? Still no good word on alcohol, but fraternity sponsored scientists continue to search for benefits.

That's not so true. Alcohol has been shown, in moderation, to reduce the presence of plaques in the cardiovascular system. In addition, it is also known that redwine helps curb radiation absorption.

Or people can start smoking hundreds of joints each week. I know that will cost you some cash, but what price can you put on your braincells?

Note that it grows rat brain cells.

Based on a few potheads I know, it probably grows rat brain cells in humans too.
