Real science is usually a lot cooler than this.

not a very good study.

Drug use of any kind is not recommended on someone with a developing brain (unless the benefits outweigh the risks). There is really no data showing that cannabis has any permanent neurological effects on a fully developed brain. |

I don't keep up with the research very closely these days, since I have no intention of ever using cannabis again. Let's agree that you're right. Problem is, I'd feel pretty safe supposing that an overwhelming majority of us users started using it long before we had fully developed brains.

“We need to see what happens longitudinally,” Breiter said. “What happens as you follow people over time? What happens if they stop using – do these bad effects continue? What happens if you can intervene early?...My worry is we haven’t studied this compound and here we are looking to change legislation on it.”
This is the problem. They studied young people who were already using pot. Did using pot tend to cause the abnormality or did the preexisting abnormality tend to cause pot usage? Because these brain regions are central for motivation, the findings from Northwestern help support the well-known theory that marijuana use leads to a condition called amotivation. Also called amotivational syndrome, this psychological condition causes people to become less oriented towards their goals and purposes in life, as well as seem less focused in general. No it doesn't. The study implies a link between pot use and unmotivated people. The link, if proven, is yet to be determined. |
