This result seems to be an outlier. Pot has been linked to schizophrenia and reduced short term memory in the past but not to this degree.

I wouldn’t take this one paper too seriously without a lot of replication.

Results of this study point in one direction... admit to smoking pot to a P.A.
(because all the M.D.s bagged it due to Øbamacare) and you roll 1d4 at having your right to bear arms permanently revoked.

It might be that the early studies which “only” linked pot to schizophrenia and reduced short term memory were studies involving less potent forms of marijuana. Other possible factors are now long-term impact and impact on descendants of pot users.

It's a problem with all research done on new meds. Long-term conclusions are being drawn from short-term data.
