Ummmmmmm ... doesn't EVERY Puritan-UnApproved substance
either "shrink the brain" and/or cause "chromosome
damage" ??? :-)
Well, hashish use in 'arab' countries has been going
on for thousands of years - yet most of our sciences
and math methods COME from that area - Euros hadn't
a clue, we had to steal the stuff from the Moslems.
Now I'm not going to suggest daily hashish use with
the illusion that it will improve the species ...
seems to make many kinda dull actually ... but even
more stupid are 'news' sources repeating these
endless 'shrinks the brain' warnings from the late
50s on.

Caffeine strips the insulation from the nerves
and causes chromosomal damage. Puritan approved.
Alcohol kills brain cells and given time liver cells
while it remains as addictive as other narcotic drugs.
But the real Puritans preferred to drink as the water
of the colony was dangerous. Puritan approved for
hundreds of years.
So what if it shrinks the brain. Smaller brains
are more efficient. Unless someone is in a lot of pain
daily cannabis use is pointless. If someone is taking
cannabis frequently they do not have to worry about
interfering with the respiratory reflex as alcohol
and the opiates do. Medical alcoholic solutions of
cannabis were on the Formulary before 1937 when
Harry J.Anslinger decided to stick his spoke in
the wheel of medicine in the hope of increasing his
bureaucracy at the pre-DEA, Federal Bureau of Narcotics.
Oh by the way torture also shrinks the brain
apparently of the tortured and the torturer who thinks
that torture gets truth out of the tortured. This
justification for sadism extends up the hierarchy to
the approver of such stupid behavior. Maybe the result
of tortuous up-bringings by controlling parents?

The usual 'Puritan' position is that if it's in
any way FUN then it's "sin" and DANGEROUS. Good
little Puritans are ONLY allowed to get a thrill
from worship of the approved god.
Oh, as for the beer -vs- water thing ... THAT was
a literal survival tactic. Water was often lethal
before large-scale sanitation systems. Gotta
make a FEW practical allowances .......
I'm not gonna argue the plus/minus aspects of
reefer -vs- everything else. Such 'studies' are
way too often corrupted by ideology and/or biased
stat techniques. Let's just say that a little of
whatever probably ain't THAT bad and be done
with it.
Ok, today, that 'little' has a higher and higher
chance of being full of fentanyl or worse ...
just bear it in mind.
My main complaint is the MSM so happily jumping
on to ANY "science" that makes unapproved dope
look extra bad. This kinda started with "Reefer
Madness" and got worse from there.

Actually it started with Hearst's racism ans
sexism if you read the adverta for Reefer Madness.
The idea that Hispanics/Mexicans and Negroes might
be using the cheap drug to relax and recreate was
enough for the Southern Democrats to whom Harry Anslinger
presented his Hemp Tax Act in 1937. That by the way
is the year I was born.
Anslinger was trying to keep his Federal Bureau
of Narcotics functional by creating another drug to
control since the Prohibition of Alcohol had been repealed
but cocaine and heroin were not becoming popular so he
needed a new drug to control. He was immensely successful
in promoting cannabis and it went from a few hundred thousand
users to millions by 25 years later.
Each of those represented a potenial drug user to
control.

Fat is insulation for the neurons.
If we were better designed it would be cushioning the
whole internal structure of the brain to provide resistance
to contre coup injuries.
