Pot heads swear this isn’t true.
Stupid people smoke it or does it make you stupid? Guess that depends on who you ask.
Prolonged use of any intoxicant will have harmful side effects. Whether it is the currently mostly legal alcohol, or the currently mostly banned pot, or some prescription item.
Some people smoke pot to forget emotional pain and that is generally counterproductive.
People need to get their spirituality right, or they will always find a way to zonk themselves to the ill.
Just because there is a statistical correlation among study participants, does not prove there is a direct cause. There was a study last month that “proved” men who have had at least 20 sex partners have a lower chance of prostate cancer. That correlation does NOT prove that sleeping with 20 women will directly reduce cancer risks but the papers skewed headlines to get more readers.
There are also many studies that show schizophrenics are 2-3 times more likely to smoke cigarettes and their brain scans are different. It does NOT prove cigarettes causes schizophrenia or any brain changes.
There has not been a SINGLE before-after brain scan study showing any long-term difference in pot users. There has not been a SINGLE study of twin humans or animals showing ANY difference at all. Even when subjected to amounts of pot only possible in a lab. The only thing we have are MRI scans showing brains NOW and this does not prove any CHANGE.
IMO, we see the IQ differences in studies because the only people who would admit to using pot for a study are the low paid, low-IQ types. Professionals are often prosecuted for using this plant and do not wish to have a record anywhere admitting to use.
I am the rare exception. Nearly killed me.
More than I think?
But of course. I can’t think.
Probably all that pot I smoked back in high-school...
Go to any skate park in America and see if you can carry on a conversation with a toked up skater that doesn’t include him saying duuuuude a million times.
Let's run the study on people who use Martinis thrice daily... breakfast, lunch and dinner.
What a stupid study... how about testing normal people who only use pot like they would use a cocktail.
More than you think. . . .
More than you what?
Yeah look at our current President
One version of this article that I read this morning,stated that the IQ of marijuana users was lower than non-users but that it could not be determined if the marijuana was a causative factor because they had not done before after tests. The previous study did before and after studies.
I’m not a big fan of “studies” but there must be some truth to this. Those pushing to “legalize” marijuana keep telling the commie lib politicians to “tax the hell out of it.” You have to be a little off to spew that kind of BS.
Whoa - getting loaded on anything three times a day is probably going to affect you. Can’t say I ever did that, but I smoked it for years and can’t say I’ve ever noticed any long-lasting side effects. Other than the purple spiders.
I hope all that grass I smoked back in the ‘60s hasn’t given me drain bramage.
Take a good gander at what booze can do.
What is sad is that he had the brains and the grades and the people skills to become a physician if he wanted.
Instead, he skipped college and has worked menial jobs all his life - just enough to keep his pot in check.
He never married, has no kids, but he does have a thriving pot business.
