No. Otherwise it wouldn't be a treatment for things like brain cancer, Memory disabilities and seizures.

The us government has a patent on marijuana as a "brain protectant".

The rumor that marijuana damages the brain came from a study done on monkeys in the mid 70's in which they put gas masks on 3 monkeys and proceeded to fill each mask with large amounts of marijuana smoke.

The masks were left on the monkeys until all of the smoke was gone. The scientists found that the monkeys had lost brain cells. However, what the scientists back then didn't realize is that it was the lack of oxygen caused by the monkeys inhaling only smoke with no breathing breaks for so long that killed their brain cells.

What good does weed smoking does to the body?

Honestly It doesn't do anything. Some people might try to tell you that smoking weed will kill brain cells but it doesn't although while you are high you do loose brain cells but once your high goes away, you become back to normal. And when you are high you tend to get the munchies, and If you eat too much it could possible cause you to gain weight (not good). Weed is a herb not a drug as crack is weed doesn't harm your body too much. Many Indian and Hindu's believe that smoking weed helps relax and prepare for meditation.
