Teenage Marijuana Use May Hurt Future IQ

ya it's almost as though i thought for a second that stupidity has somehow been illegal all along.... trippy dude!

 

Yea ok, and what makes you the authority? Logging the most hours on World Nut Daily? Sagan's achievements are numerous, he predicted things that we see a lot of evidence for today. Like the ocean under the ice of Europa, for example. I don't get why you're so butthurt about this, can you just not accept that an intelligent person smoked weed sometimes? Welcome to reality.

 

quite right, despite the fact that universities felt compelled to bestow asimov with an honorary degree in physics, very few of his most brilliant theories ever saw the light of day amongst them.

fourth spatial dimension theory is only just beginning to see the light of day in the scientific community. tho that could be because it tends to prove that the world is flat

 

And in other news the sky is blue! Did they really need to do a study to determine that pot smokers are of lower intelligence compared to non-pot smokers?? I'm sure there are some who use who are intelligent, but of course they are the exception. The dumbing down of America runs congruent with pot use.

 

Crush a bit, little bit, roll it up, take a hit.

 

Pick it, pack it, fire it up, come along, and take a hit from the bong.

 

That's like saying that legalizing alcohol legalized drunk driving.

 

Tobacco kills about 400,000
Alcohol kills about 80,000
Workplace accidents kill 60,000
Automobiles kill 40,000
Cocaine kills about 2,500
Heroin kills about 2,000
Aspirin kills about 2,000
Marijuana kills 0
There has never been a recorded death due to marijuana usage at any time in US history.

All illegal drugs combined kill under 20,000 per year, or a small percent of the number killed by alcohol and tobacco.

Tobacco kills more people each year than all of the people killed by all of the illegal drugs in the last one hundred years.

That means you must have started when you were six.

If the study is true then you may regain your senses when you have been clean for about 20 years or so.

 

Don't ruin his fun. He NEEDS to believe pot is a killer regardless of the truth. You are trying to reason with the unreasonable.

 

He is 16 years old and even if he lost 10 to 15 IQ points he is still far superior intellectually then 75% of the posters on this forum. He doesn't have much to worry about but the rest of this board I can not say the same.

 

Yet don't tell the Progressive-Republican, they have their marching orders! Bush said Marijuana Users were Terrorist, that is all they need to know, any facts that show this to be false is yet another attempt of the Boogie-man in their closet wanting to rape their female children! Real Conservatives have close ties, ties that bind them to Libertarians, the Progressive Republican has to attempt to squelch any possible meeting of the minds. So they use lies an prisons to prove their point.

 

So no one stoned on Marijuana ever crashed their car and died?

 

Ask the 8 yr old boy, oh that's right he's dead.

 

I suppose so but show me some proof of it happening? Show me one case of someone OD'ing or dieing of mushrooms outside of picking a poisoneous one? Yet how far do you think I can dig to find thousands of people in prison for simple possession, in fact you likely support arcane laws that destroy more lives then all drugs put together!

 

Okay I seen your link, it is total BS. Hours after smoking some pot, the high is gone hours later but wait, "Uppers" were also found! Gee more prescriptions med's, who would of thunk of such a thing! Dude, you are basically what is wrong with so much of America today.

 

They are in prison because illegal drugs are...illegal.

If druggies obeyed the law they would not be in jail.

 

It's also instructive to note that people are twice as likely to kill themself with a firearm than another person.

 

It's not bad for society for the weak minded to do that. It's called evolution.

 

So what I see is "Progressive Right meet Progressive Left". Two peas in a pod an they all dislike voices of decent such as Ron Paul an others. Now they want us to support Romney another Progressive Rightie, discussions like these make me want to re-think my recent ideas of supporting these clowns with my noise held tight but..........they do themselves no favor by suggesting above line nearing the ideas of euthanasia or destroying ten of thousands lives with arcane laws that find no support within our Constitution nor our Founding Fathers.

 

Alcohol kills brain cells too, no ones going to put down their booze.

Hypocrites.

 

Yes they are! Plus alcohol and drugs have a long history with man, tell them with recent discoveries many now believe beer came before bread and the real reason why man turn to plowing the fields. Yet they are way too busy with concerns of people planting an using plants that God gave man an even said hey here you go have some fun during your miserable lives. Politics of Pleasure.

 

OK, so the OP says that after you become an adult, there is no longer any risk of losing IQ. So just set the legal age at 21.

 

Yea but unfortunely the progressive Right tend to be strong believers of the "politics of pleasure" so good luck with that one. No, just kick them out of the Republican Party and see how they fare in the Democratic Party! Be nice to see one party have both "Progressive Camps" within it!

 

Why the OP isn't railing against the amount of very very dangerous prescription drugs, given to children - he should. Many of these drugs given for ADD for instance, are incredibly powerful drugs!
