unPHILtered: How Marijuana Affects The Brain
Smoking marijuana can have lasting effects on the brain, especially if you start smoking as a child.
TELL DR. PHIL YOUR STORY: Need Dr. Phil to get real with someone?
“When you’re young, your brain is forming. It’s changing every day. Your brain grows until you’re 25, at least,” Dr. Phil says. “And when you smoke marijuana, it’s like opening your computer up and pouring water inside. A lot of things short out, and it connects where it’s not supposed to, and really creates problems.”
