Cannabis use linked to IQ loss

IQ does not measure all forms of intelligence.

No, just the ones that count...

Dams brief for over 10 years you always pop up in the same threads as me. Didn’t like you at first. Now I know. We are to much alike.

Uh oh

Kids time, later gramps.

Isn't there some point where solid red karma causes a ban?

dude has to be a GLP paid troll or a moderator.. they never will ban him/her/them
one of the only downfalls about this is this ass hat is famous for trolling but they will never do anything about him

So smoking pot turns you in to an american?

This simply cannot be true Francis, I as have more IQ in my left nut than you have ever had. Go pop your pills and lose a few more points...

This is why "they" want marijuana legalized. It'll be easier to lie to people who are doped up on marijuana.

Persistent cannabis users who started using the drug before age 18 show an average IQ decline of 8 points and other signs of impaired mental functioning by age 38, according to world-first research emerging from the University of Otago’s long-running Dunedin Multidisciplinary Study.

The Study has followed the progress of 1000 Dunedin-born people since their birth in 1972/73 and is one of the most detailed studies of human health and development ever undertaken. The latest findings are newly published in a paper appearing in the US journal PNAS Plus co-authored by researchers from Otago, Duke University and King’s College London.

Below is a fact sheet of the study produced by the researchers.

The findings:

We studied the association between persistent cannabis use and IQ decline and asked whether IQ decline was concentrated among adolescent-onset cannabis users. Findings come from the Dunedin Multidisciplinary Health and Development Study. The study has followed a group of 1,037 children, who were born in 1972-73 in Dunedin, New Zealand, from birth to age 38 years, with 96% of the sample taking part at age 38. IQ was tested at age 13, before cannabis use, and again at age 38, after some study members had used cannabis for many years.
