I have no idea what you're taking about (i.e., are you insulting me?) You need some work on your syntax. Seems like a few lessons in pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics is in order too.
I have a decent handle neurophysiology. There are a few peer-reviewed studies that demonstrate pot fostering and enhancing creativity in SOME people. It's a fact. I've noticed this as a musician. But theres 100% no doubt that it kills brain cells and diminishes short term recall. That is an unadulterated fact that is widely accepted among most experts in the aforementioned fields.
*Unless something is considered a natural law, researchers and the nomenclature they use typically aviods claims that are packaged as a definitive fact; unless, it is irrefutable and rejects the null hypotheses ENTIRELY.
In addition, someone in this thread claimed that they balance brain cell loss from THCa with the ingestion of mushrooms, becaus it "seems to work for them." Well, I'm not sure if you're a huge Terence Mckenna fan and take full investment on his Stoned Ape Theory, but psilocybin aids people with forms of PTSD. It isn't known for increasing neuroplasticity. It does increase synaptic connections but I'm about 99% positive that it's not doing so in a manner that you're assuming; they do not enhance or expanding your cognition, but rewire coded "errors" that cause some synaptic misfirings, which have adverse effects, which is found in trauma cases and mood disorders.
I smoked for nearly 15 yrs and took mushrooms and acid for roughly 12-13 (I forgot exactly how long lol), on a randomly periodic basis. So I know a little about the affect of psychedelics and pot through personal experience; also, I've studied the brain in my undergrad and some grad courses. Furthermore, I've conducted studies on the topic (no publications unfortunately).
