How would anyone notice?
This goes a long way towards explaining Obama’s election...
Does this include the possibility that teenagers with lower IQs tend to smoke more marijuana than teenagers with higher IQs?
"Dude! That can't be right!"
Did Coloradoans take this into consideration? This is child abuse on a massive scale.
I smoked weed from 1971 to 1984...heavy use
My IQ was tested 1975 in Spanish Fort Alabama at the request of my school just shy of 150
A score considered near genius once.
I graduated deans list last two years at Ole Miss when my live in ...rather gorgeous...southern belle girl friend used her innate skills to make me use my potential in class.....I think I made 2 Bs out of the last 30 or so courses..the rest As...one B was translating Cervantes...you haven’t lived if you haven’t had that pleasure
I scored 703 old score on LSAT and could have attended all but the top dozen law schools had I wished
I don’t advocate pot use for kids but I sure don’t share this bogeyman attitude over it many here who have never once smoked it have
But I don’t consider myself the Matthew McConahey pot advocate of FR...Im ambivalent....my girls smoked some and I know my boys will try it....I push restraint and for sure no chronic use....pretty much what I say here
One difference is down south most pot smokers are like the rest of us...conservative
I know probably over 100 pot smokers from young adults to nearly 80
98% are not libs
Pot can be harmful but it doesn’t make everyone life long dumb..I don’t buy that
Drug studies are like most science today...agenda driven....they always have been...think fish babies
Its a strange time for pot...I personally think serious decrim over legalization makes more sense....for many reasons
To me the biggest harm of marijuana is it can stunt ambition and drive....even sex drive...in some folks in heavy use.....didn’t do that to me other than being stoned is conducive to procrastinating the mundane.
I’m convinced of this but if they limit use to evening or free time like responsible smokers do this abates...but it can sure cause complacency
My IQ is now around 137-140
Two open heart off pump surgeries.
One serious head wound.
Empty sella syndrome
Nearing 60
Crappy arrhythmia
Stuff that wears down brain function directly or indirectly
It can be a curse....timelines and chronology events from barely significant on from about 1962....I remember EVERYTHING.
and I often jump ahead in conversations...which is irritating...ask my dear wife
I am not devoid of common sense but my book sense capacities do not translate to mechanical sense...which doesn’t come natural nor the physical sciences in general
Having a higher IQ than average is a gift but also a curse.....you tend to realize its lawyers guns and money time quicker and absorb how bad it really is in America these days culture wise...its hard to be oblivious... the ignorance is bliss thing isn’t there
But smarts is a lot more than simple IQ and its no guarantee of much but anxiety..lol
But I’ve observed and live in one of this nations richest counties where kids score high IQ and most folks are bright like Black Agnes and Pelham and Catherine...
That is not an accident
Dave’s not here.
It is called “dope”...
As someone who smoke a LOT of pot as a teen, I believe this study is probably correct.
Good grief .is it possible to have a minus IQ?
Explains Obama...
Pot legalization is to level the playing field to bring the intelligence of whites down to that of affirmative action’s protected classes. Legally AA can’t stand much longer, and by the time it is consigned to the junkbin of history young whites will be almost identical to the permanent urban underclass. I see it today: no job skills, limited education, tattoos everywhere, rampant drug use, kids out of wedlock, etc..
Sad to watch.
Whoa! It LOWERS....wait....what?
I think occasional marijuana use is just fine - but I am one of those people who does not do things in moderation. I smoked a lot of weed back when I was a hippie, and I know I have lost a few points off my IQ. But, they were extra points I didn’t need.
I started smoking weed again recently after many years of abstinence. Over the course of 3 or 4 months my work deteriorated, I was having trouble keeping organized, and I was put on probation at work. My wife was making preliminary moves to seize control of our assets. I quit smoking and it is happy time again, at work and at home.
Dang it!
Well, now Obama has something to blame other than Bush. And now we know, where the 57 or was it 58 or 59 States he's visited came from. Along with all the other gaffes, stupid comments and his complete inability to learn from reality comes from.
And legalizing it will be so great.../s
but dude, legalize it and tax it man.... it’s pure mother nature man... safer than breathing regular air man...
Well the high IQ senior citizens I know who use it are still way up there on the IQ testing, even after all these years.
