Now this hits home for me, Killernoodle. I have a friend who has Cystic Fibrosis, and the only thing that can clear out his lungs and throat plus make him hungry (a side effect of the medicines that save his life, they make him lose his appetite) is marijuana. He probably couldn't bear the pain without it.
Carl Sagan smoked marijuana while on his death bed. Tell him that he is screwing with his body and he shouldn't smoke. Tell him to leave the cancer where it is because it is a part of him.

Fact is, that marijuana doesn't destroy brain cells. It only seals them off for an undetermined amout of time. That time can be days to months, but it DOES come back. Does your liver recover from cirrhosis?
