Here's an interesting tidbit:
"Similar research conducted by scientists at the National Institutes for Mental Health found that naturally occurring cannabinoids THC and cannabidiol (CBD) are also neuroprotective. A 1999 report by the National Academy of Sciences' Institute of Medicine (IOM) called cannabis' neuroprotective qualities the "most prominent" of its potential therapeutic applications."

Of course, I suppose it's possible for a substance to be both neuroprotective and neurotoxic at the same time.
However, the evidence of cannabis being neuroprotective seems to be stronger than the evidence of cannabis causing brain damage.
