quote:

Adjusting for group differences in cigarette smoking dramatically attenuated the associations between cannabis use and both outcomes, and further analyses demonstrated robust associations between cigarette use and educational outcomes, even with cannabis users excluded. These findings suggest that adolescent cannabis use is not associated with IQ or educational performance once adjustment is made for potential confounds, in particular adolescent cigarette use. Modest cannabis use in teenagers may have less cognitive impact than epidemiological surveys of older cohorts have previously suggested.

Not surprising at all. Most of the kids in my graduating class who went to the best schools smoked pot.

No one here has ever noticed that regular marijuana use has ever made anyone less intelligent or quick-witted.

tl/dr: Stupid study is stupid.

Anecdotal evidence is the best kind of evidence.

I liked my nonsexual figure entendre.

One thing that's for certain, particularly in the south, is that most professionals will never admit to smoking weed. They're afraid it will hurt their career if people found out.

Ive have had non smokers and people who partake moderately work for me and the blowhards are always slower, less intelligent, less enthusiastic, and possess a weaker work ethic than non smokers of the verge.
