Smoking Pot Lowers IQ

[Champ]

Finnegan's last post prompts me to ask, could we all concede and agree this just isn't a very good study and peacefully leave it at that? I'm happy to provide papers for those who really do want to find out and make a decision, and to provide discussion of those articles thereafter, but the effort to gain ratio here is improbable to be anything significant.

i.e. I'm not that fazed about what you all believe and I'm not too driven to change you :lol: Yet another case where it matters, but at the same time in a way that we're all removed from each other, doesn't.

Downedit: Actually Enoch, we can assume that the average IQ of participants is 100 (because that's the average IQ). So, if you reduce that by 8 points, they will, on average have an IQ of 92 - which is much closer to 70, the line at which they believe you should be institutionalised, than they were previously.

Downdownedit: The link to the actual paper and not a summary article, for those who want to make a comment on the methodology or science: http://www.pnas.org/content/early/2012/08/...820109.abstract Note that you need a subscription or paid access.
