THC And Neurogenesis!

       Every layman hears the same dictum from their family doctors or from scientists on T.V. saying, "brain cells are the only cells in the body that don't replenish, divide or grow new ones....so you are born with X number of brain cells and you just lose literally so many per day until you are completely demented."


       Really folks this is what they taught ME and my classmates and all the classes before 1990 at Univ of Louisville Med School.  Well, they also ("they"-- the government, also forbade scientists to study the effects of cannabis for years) recently in a study found actual NEUROGENESIS occurring in brains of rats given an extract from the cannabis (marijuana) plant.

  This changes all knowledge and thinking in neurology.  We can use pot to GROW new brain cells in rats, then on to monkeys, then to us.  It will most likely occur.  It had already been shown in a few studies that a cannabis extract injected post-cva was neuroprotective and caused less morbidity.


        Many scientists that read this will find their worlds turned upside down.  We descend further and further down the rabbit hole into a vortex of novelty.
