A recent study confirmed that heavy (daily) marijuana use is associated with decreased "gray matter" or brain tissue when compared with controls. Heavy alcohol use (more than 1 drink daily) causes liver disease as well as changes in the brain.
Our bodies are well adapted to small doses of many toxic substances, like alcohol, marijuana, saturated fats and cholesterol. It is only when we start overwhelming our normal detoxifying systems that we poison ourselves.
The issue with alcohol, tobacco, cocaine, and narcotics is the addiction potential that creates a craving and essentially prevents moderate use!
