Nah... can’t be so. This MUST be propaganda from the anti-weed establishment....

Or so the pro-pot “libertarian-types” will say...

Amanda Bynes....could the marijuana be responsible for her hospitalization?

"Dude.....wait....what?"

And where are the studies that link it with crime, unemployment, welfare, higher prison populations and the like?

Look. Keeping marijuana illegal IS NOT just another version of Prohibition. The WOD may be a failure but only because Big Gov has found ways to manipulate anti-marijuana laws.

But to legalize all pot would only worsen our social and economic problems.

[vpintheak]

Well, well, well. So much for the doesn’t hurt anyone theory.

[lormand]

This study is bunk and I’ll tell you why....it, uh, er, I would say, uh...crap, I forgot.

[huldah1776]

That is exactly why every psych text, all liberal, are against the use of marijuana. ALL.

[Berlin_Freeper]

Because these brain regions are central for motivation, the findings from Northwestern help support the well-known theory that marijuana use leads to a condition called amotivation. Also called amotivational syndrome, this psychological condition causes people to become less oriented towards their goals and purposes in life, as well as seem less focused in general.

Any word on the effect of Cheetos?

[varyouga]

Wow, a “study” of 20 subjects telling us what we already know- people with brain abnormalities are more likely to abuse drugs and be self destructive. There were no “before” scans of these subjects so there is no way to prove causation.

You can find the same correlation of schizophrenia and heavy tobacco use. It does not mean tobacco causes it.

Show me a SINGLE study of twins with different brains- one that smokes pot and one that doesn't. Hell, show me ONE example of even twin animals. That would actually confirm something but so far not one case has been shown.

[GeronL]

It is mind/mood altering drug, duh

Those researchers will be looking for work very soon.Imagine their audacity in attempting to marginalize the most vulnerable among us.

[blueplum]

“This study is just a beginning pilot study”

who’s funding the study? and how valuable is the grant?

and how soon can we start testing liberals?

[AZLiberty]

If the problem is casual use, then the serious users must be OK.

[SuziQ]

This comes under the heading of “No Sh*t, Sherlock”. Doesn’t matter how much the pro-legalization crowd wants to argue, brain scans have proved there is damage to the brain with long-term use of marijuana.

[PoloSec]

What they don’t tell you...

Who funded the study!

How long did it take to find out who funded global warming studies.
