How does Weed(marijuana) affect your body and mind ?
What does it do to you ?
When i say that, i mean whats the perminant affect ?(as in, not the "fun" feeling you get but after that wears off)
Does it make you stupid, do you have short term memory, do you get tired ALL the time, does your mind get numb, etc.
Details please
thanks in advance
The original basis of this claim was a report that, upon postmortem examinations, structural changes in several brain regions were found in two rhesus monkeys exposed to THC. 51 Because these changes primarily involved the hippocampus, a cortical brain region known to play an important role in learning and memory, this finding suggested possible negative consequences for human marijuana users.
Additional studies, employing rodents, reported similar brain changes.
However, to achieve these results, massive doses of THC - up to 200 times the psychoactive dose in humans - had to be given . In fact, studies employing 100 times the human dose have failed to reveal any damage. 52
In the most recently published study, rhesus monkeys were exposed through face-mask inhalation to the smoke equivalent of four to five joints per day for one year. When sacrificed seven months later, there was no observed alteration of hippocampal architecture, cell size, cell number, or synaptic configuration. The authors conclude:
"while behavioral and neuroendocrinal effects are observed during marijuana smoke exposure in the monkey, residual neuropathological and neurochemical effects of marijuana exposure were not observed seven months after the year-long marijuana smoke regimen.
Thus, 20 years after the first report of brain damage in two marijuana-exposed monkeys, the claim of damage to brain cells has been effectively disproven.
No postmortem examinations of the brains of human marijuana users have ever been conducted. However, numerous studies have explored marijuana effect on brain-related cognitive functions. Many employ an experimental design - in which subjects are given marijuana in a laboratory setting, and then compared to controls on a variety of measures involving attention, learning and memory.
In a number of studies, no significant differences were detected. In fact, there is substantial research demonstrating that that marijuana intoxication does not impair the retrieval of information learned previously. However, there is evidence that marijuana, particularly in high doses, may interfere with users' ability to transfer new information into longterm memory.
While there is general agreement that, while under the influence of marijuana, learning is less efficient there is no evidence that marijuana users - even longterm users - suffer permanent impairment. Indeed, numerous studies comparing chronic marijuana users with non-user controls have found no significant differences in learning, memory recall or other cognitive functions.

From personal experience, I've smoked weed every night for almost the last ten year so I can sleep and stay asleep a full eight hours.
I've had absolutely no permanent side affects.
To be honest the only side affects I've noticed, while not permanent, was the new found ability to wake up in time every morning to go to work, and a lack of depression as I've been on a good sleep schedule.

A Brief Explanation of the Physical and Mental Effects of Marijuana
It seems in today's world that facts aren't really that important to people. All that matters is how intelligent someone sounds when they say something. Even if someone completely ignores all research and lacks any common sense or reasoning skills, people will believe that person, simply because they sound smart. I am writing this article to explain to the world exactly what pot does to you, and why it isn't the terrible, life-destroying drug every republican and their mother thinks it is, because in this world of assholes trying to impress dumbasses, nobody has their facts straight anymore.
THC
THC is the active chemical in marijuana. When one smokes weed, THC is what gets them high. Contrary to what the D.A.R.E. officer told you in the 5th grade, marijuana does not contain more cancerous chemicals than cigarettes. While THC is not the only chemical weed contains, it is the only one that has any real effect on one's body or mind. THC works by making the smoker's brain release excess amounts of dopamine, which could be described as the brain's "pleasure chemical."
Dopamine
The effects of the excess dopamine being released include an increased sex drive, heightened awareness, feelings of euphoria, and increased hunger. The dopamine is mainly released in the cerebral cortex and basal ganglia, which can lead to an irregular function in motor skills and motivation, though not impairment. In other words, smoking weed might make you walk funny and be lazy, but will not make you fall down the stairs in a drunk fashion.
Overdose and Brain Cells
It is not physically possible to overdose on marijuana. To OD on pot, one would have to smoke twice their body weight in marijuana in under 5 minutes. One shining example of the impossibility of overdosing on pot is a study performed in the 1980's, in which monkeys were strapped into gas masks, which were pumped full of marijuana smoke. Not a single monkey died; however, they did experience severe brain damage. Why? Because they were completely cut off from any oxygen supply, of course. This study is the only evidence anyone has that marijuana kills brain cells, and of course, one can clearly see that this evidence is faulty. Marijuana has no effect on one's brain cells.
Addiction
Marijuana contains no addictive properties. Though a psychological dependency is possible with pot as it is with any engaging substance or activity, there is no possibility of developing a physical addiction to marijuana.
Lungs
Marijuana is almost completely harmless to the lungs. Whereas cigarettes contain hundreds of harmful chemicals that can damage your lungs, marijuana contains only THC, and I'm sure a few other chemicals with no real effects. None of these chemicals are carcinogens. Furthermore, the risk for lung damage is completely diminished when the marijuana is vaporized or eaten.
