unique research highlights the damage wrought by strong skunk. Legalisation would give users far greater control and choice over the strength of what they smokedIt’s news that surely surprises no one: smoking high-strength cannabis may damage your brain. By scanning the brains of people who regularly smoked skunk-like cannabis,researchers at King’s College London observed subtle differences in the white matter that connects the left and right hemispheres and carries signals from one side of the brain to the other. People who did not employ cannabis, or who used low-potency cannabis, and did not show these differences. While the scientists are unable to say what these changes might mean for the individual cannabis user,the study does propose it leads to a “less efficient” transfer of information in the brain (talk approximately stating the obvious, that’s why people smoke it … etc, or etc).
