These studies really don't tell us much.

On the contrary, they tell us a lot. You just seem unable to process the information.

" While each of our long term cannabis users performed their task of selective attention, we recorded the electrical activity of their brain. What we found was very interesting. We found that some impairments are associated with the frequency of cannabis use, how often people were smoking. The problem seemed to be a general slowing of information processing. People who were using cannabis more than three times a week were much slower in recognising information as being important, evaluating that information and making decisions to act on that information" -Dr Nadia Solowij

Two words - "peer review".

All it shows is that people who are scitzo tend to smoke MJ. Have you ever read any data on how many scitzos smoke tabacco? It is more profound than MJ. Anyone want to say that tabacco causes scitzo, or that scitzos smoke tabacco? Why with MJ are you so quick to say that MJ cases scitzo rather than scitzos smoke MJ? Approaching a study with a disired result can cause this.
