-NO, one of the reasons that you might think that it kills brian cells is because you heard it did and people claim it does.
This dates back to the reefer madness movement when the government was conducting experiments on monkeys to show the effects of it.
These experiments were conducted poorly with no little evidece to back it up.
What they did was they got lab monkeys and hooked them up to a facial mask that fed them marijuana smoke.
The monkeys were fed rediculos amounts of weed, more than a person would smoke in a life time.
The monkey eventually died, having no clean air to breath, they died, and the reason why it killed their brian cells was because no air was reaching the brain just a huge amount of smoke.
Studies done afterwards failed to show any brain damage, in fact a very recent study on Rhesus monkeys used technology so sensitive that scientists could actually see the effect of learning on brain cells, and it found no damage.

---The stuff that fucks you up is Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol, or T.H.C. This is the physco-active ingredient in herb that gets you high.
