My IQ was too high anyway... I'm trying to lower my IQ enough so that I'll finally get accepted into the police force. I only have to drop another 40 points or so.

Welp, case closed.

Alcohol causes cirrhosis.

Are we done here?

Is it possible that the brain abnormalities were already there but people with that brain abnormality are more likely to want to smoke pot?
The brain abnormality is leading to the pot smoking and not the other way around?

Actually it's the second ever legal cannabis cup. But hey, what the **** does that matter. If I see a guy that looks like Penn Jillette, I'll make sure to throw a bud his way.

I was worried until I realized the side effects were only found in casual smokers.

That's possible as well, but it doesn't sound much better.

shhhhhh
Pot is bad.

The big difference is that you can continued getting stoned without worrying that it is damaging your brain. Actually you now have an excuse--you need to spark up, and it is due to a disease.

wut?

BREAKING NEWS!!!!

When you're stoned....you forget shit.

end of article.

The results don't really come as much of a surprise, and completely jive with my personal experience. I quit smoking pot since I felt my motivation and focus were being affected even when I wasn't stoned. Since I stopped, though, I haven't felt affected. Point is, it would be more interesting to have these people stop smoking for a year and see the result. I don't think it is as 'permanent' as they think.

Never heard of 'amotivational syndrome' before. Funny.

Going to pop open another one of my health drinks I call beer now.

How interesting, the timing of this study. Political agenda anyone?

All I know is, I never smoked pot but I had a lot of friends who did, some more than others. Granted, it's a small sample, but they've all quit due to work reasons, it's illegal, whatever. They are all successful, well rounded people. It short, the pot smoking they did in their teens and twenties does not seem to have had an adverse affect on their ability to live happy, productive healthy lives. None of them are brain dead or overly forgetful or whatever.

That's my scientific study.

Nope. Pot can only cure cancer and make rainbows. It's impossible for any sort of bad thing to happen from using wonderful weed.

I could say the exact same thing about drinking insane amounts of alcohol in late teens and early 20s.
