I’m talking about any thing that can be produced from cannabis of any strain, not laced and not something that’s glycol-based or a dry-plant vaporizer; and consumed via inhalation of it’s smoke or digestion (ex: edibles). Not discussing the legality of it or any other unnecessary nuances, just the benefits and harm of it. Studies are extremely encouraged btw. =p
I thought the theory that it affected childhood brains was based on the damage it cause to frontal lobe development? And the notion that it was up to age 21 was based on that erroneous “The frontal cortex is developed at 25 years old” study, that actually just stopped looking at patients older than 25?
Honestly I’m not really sure about that. What I’ve seen on the idea of damage to children usually has the caveat of “more study is needed”, but of course nobody wants to subject children to such a study on purpose. On the other hand, I haven’t seen any studies yet that concluded long-term use in adults would cause any permanent damage. I suspect there could be outlying cases of extremely heavy usage but in moderation it so far appears to be perfectly safe.
