yes, it does. and the very fact that you "don't need to read the studies" is a proof it already DID

I'm just telling you the proof is the people I know who have smoked everyday since high school and their achievements. These are not brain dead minimum wage people. They are high achievers. So what does the study say about them?

The developing brain is susceptible to so many things, which is why we don't let kids drink alcohol. Sadly we do drug them up with other stuff however so we don't have much of a moral high ground here.

MJ needs to be decriminalized whether it's "legalized" and marketed and commercially sold or not. Adults don't need to be getting into any legal trouble just because they do something that isn't good for children. We do A LOT of things that aren't good for children but as adults we have the right.

agreed

though it is not good not only for children - teenagers are not children, and they are the main target of the study.

adult brain gets damage, too

Anything abused can damage the body. Pretty much everything short of straight poison, in moderation, is statistically harmless.
