⚡️🎙️ NEW - Marijuana contributes to Brain Damage: “It’s a Weapon of Mass Destruction,” Says Dr. Daniel Amen

Dr. Daniel Amen, a psychiatrist and brain-imaging specialist, warns that marijuana use causes visible damage on brain scans, which he describes as producing a “toxic-looking brain.”

He specifically highlights the cerebellum — the area at the back-bottom of the brain that contains about 50% of the brain’s total neurons despite taking up only 10% of its volume.

➥ Just as heavy alcohol use is notoriously toxic to the cerebellum, Dr. Amen states that marijuana is similarly damaging to this region.

➥ The cerebellum was once thought to be mainly responsible for physical coordination and balance.

➥ Modern research shows it also plays a critical role in thought coordination — how quickly and efficiently you process, integrate, and retrieve information.

Because marijuana impairs cerebellar function, it literally slows down your thinking — making mental processing less sharp, less fluid, and slower overall.

In Dr. Amen’s words, marijuana acts like a “weapon of mass destruction” to the brain.

It causes dementia in the long run...

I have not had alcohol as much as I can rememeber.

I have not had processed sugar since May of this year.

I have not had tap water since 2019...

I have not smoked ever in my life!

You know why?

Because my body is my TEMPLE.

I do not expect you to follow my lifestyle.

But know this, you treat your body with care and everything will follow through — it will look after you.

It houses the most precious thing — your beautiful soul.

How you take care of your body will dictate how you experience this world and your relationship with other people.

Life starts from WITHIN! 🫂♥️

So make every effort to take care of your body ☺️👌🙏
