If you consume it, and it subjectively and objectively harms your mental health and cognitive abilities, then basic common sense and reasoning tells you it is harmful to the brain (neurotoxic).
This is my opinion based on my experience. If you smoked this shit and it gave you an extra 20 IQ point boost, then congratulations.
> All smoke is carcinogenic, because it is smoke.
That's the point. Neurons don't get healthier from carcinogens.

Objectivity is good. So how often do you measure these things, what tools do you use, and what data do you collect? How do you analyze the data?
>then basic common sense and reasoning tells you it is harmful to the brain (neurotoxic).
"Neurotoxic" does not mean "alters your cognition"
"Alters your cognition" does not mean "harmful to the brain"
"Basic common sense" is not a synonym for "science"
>That's the point. Neurons don't get healthier from carcinogens.
There's no evidence to indicate that cannabis is carcinogenic or neurotoxic. In fact, there is evidence to suggest it has neuroprotective effects [0].
The carcinogens come from burning plant matter (or really, burning almost anything). There are many ways to consume cannabis and its derivative products without burning it or inhaling smoke. By your logic, all plant matter is carcinogenic because it's possible to burn it and inhale the smoke. Time to ban trees and vegetables?

I explained this was my opinion based on experience multiple times so you're just arguing with a strawman. You are absolutely wasting your time here and completely missed the point.
Try reading the article if you want to see a study showing scientific evidence of the neurotoxicity of weed.
