Cannabis smoking ‘permanently lowers IQ’ 8 points.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/health/news/9426205/Cannabis-smoking-permanently-lowers-IQ.html

The average person—yeah, we’re all above average—starts out with 51% of people smarter than them.

After 20 years of 3 times a week weed use, there is an 8 point unrecoverable loss in IQ, so that, then, 71% of people are smarter than the pot-head.

But then, the upper-middle-class people who want the poor to have “medical” marijuana, tend not to use it themselves.

Yeah, that's what caused it. Smoking pot.

Whew! Thanks! I was afraid that it might've been the millions off illiterate third worlders who breed like rabbits we've imported that were behind the IQ drop and people would attack me as a racist for even thinking such blasphemy.

I can relax now knowing it's all because of weed smokers.

Only 8 points? The potheads I know seem to be more around 20 points. They all like Bernie.

I had a very close friend born and living in Ireland who was born a special intellect; high IQ, fantastic memory, naturally curious, a polyglot, beautiful, an excellent writer and a great friend.

Heavy marihuana use during her teen and early 20s years turned her into a practical retard by the time she died, paranoid, neurasthenic an alcoholic and bipolar at age 38...

Definitely not a random coincidence.

May have been a random genetic predisposition, but I doubt it very much.

And temporarily it lowers it MORE which is especially bad at crucial decision times.

Like, say, around VOTING TIME!
