Brain to mouth

Language pathways in the brain are still developing during adolescence ..forming a big bundle of nerve fibers that connect Broca’s area (responsible for speech) to Wernicke’s area (responsible for meaning) ..I think these fibers are supposed to make sure that what comes out of my mouth makes sense ..anyway some big study ..I forget where ..says that marijuana effects the growth of these pathways ..I guess that explains why sometimes my mouth says things that I don’t recognize.
