Cannabinoids Induce Brain Cell Growth?

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the lots-of-happy-people-made-happier dept.

Harlan writes "The Globe and Mail is reporting that researchers at the University of Saskatchewan are claiming that high doses of cannabinoids have induced new brain cell growth in the hippocampus, the part of the brain responsible for learning and memory, in rat subjects. There are some interesting potential implications in regards to high doses of cannabinoids found in substances like marijuana."

    Do you doubt that? Alcohol should not even be in this picture. This isn't about getting high.

    All the comments that I have seen posted so far have some connection with some sort of drug-war propaganda or some other typical shit.

    I'm going to compose a top level comment that has nothing to do with getting high or drug war filth.
