First of all, as mentioned above, weak arse experimental design.

Second:

The research was supported by grants 14118, 026002, 35 026104, 027804 and 034093 from the National Institute on Drug Abuse, and grant 052368 from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, all of the National Institutes of Health. The Office of National Drug Control Policy and Northwestern Medicine's Warren Wright Adolescent Center also supported the research.


...yeah, no conflict of interest there. Terrible job of the article author in capturing the true effect.

I wonder if they asked the people if they were HIGH during the study.

That would obviously create a stimulated Amygdala.

I'm sure these casual pot smokers would have loved to be high during this test, it would make it a lot more fun and manageable.

Even casually smoking marijuana can change your brain



And before someone says it is no worse than alcohol, I didn't say that was any good either.

Question: does MJ use lessen your sense of empathy such that you just don't care that legalizing it will lead to more children abusing it and thereby damaging their developing brains?

Or were y'all just born that way?

Weak argument. The government doesn't interfere in such matters when it comes to the legality of alcohol which is indisputably worse.

From the study. Non-MJ users on left, MJ users on right. Why not mention the huge differences in both alcohol and cigarette use, weak arse study?

EDIT: I should note that the density measures were corrected for alcohol and cig usage. However, the differences were incredibly small, upon my slightly educated analysis.

Also from the study, age of onset on average was 16 and average smoking duration was 6 years. Your brain isn't through developing at 16, weak arse study.

I could care less if they legalize MJ. I won't smoke it either way bc I don't like smoke.
