Great post, Kathy. Marijuana abuse does fry the brain and it probably has an adverse effect on the lungs; just like alcohol abuse frys the liver and brain, or like tobacco abuse frys the lungs, lips, tongue, and throat. Junk food abuse fries the stomach, intestines, and probably the brain, as well as any number of other organs due to the hormones, preservatives, and the miscellaneous products of modern science that goes into them. And because of it all, corruption frys the soul of nations.
It is so true that history produced a considerable number of drug abusers who made great contributions to art, literature, and music, and while many were found dead in the streets without a penny to their name, their lives are celebrated for what they accomplished rather than what they did. It was their life, they lived it according to their standards, they suffered and died because of it, and the world is the ultimate beneficiary of their behavior.
