Actually the long term effects of regular marijuana use on any given individual is unknown. A pot head may blissfully go through life or end upma hopeless schizophrenic. Also women who use marijuana shrtly before and during the early stages of pregnancy should not be too surprised when their babies have learning and behavior problems. The expotential increase in the incidence of autism closely correlates with the increased use of illegal drugs in women of procreative age.
Good point. I've asked people who were concerned about the increase in autism what the drug use history of the parents was. Of course, I was told that they knew people who had a autistic child that the parents had never used drugs and that they weren't that kind of people.
But what do I know other than the advertisement that showed eggs frying in a pan. Comparing that to the brain on drugs. Plus, the scans of brains of long-term pot users having holes in them.
One of my best friend's brother, a Vietnam vet who smoked lots of pot in Nam and afterwards, developed schizophrenia around the age of 30 or so.
Was it caused by pot? I often wondered that and I don't know but there was no history of mental illness in the family......

You can correlate increased incidence of autism with a great many things, but correlation does not equal causation.
