http://vitals.nbcnews.com/_news/2012/08/27/13509508-teen-pot-use-linked-to-decline-in-iq?lite
A study that links marijuana use in teens with a drop in IQ that the scientists equate with a student going from an A student to a B student. The study showed no noticeable impacts amongst those who started marijuana as an adult, which isn't too surprising. The science has long been clear that the later in life one starts on drugs, the better, relatively speaking.
Interesting study.
Eh, yeah. Kids shouldn't do drugs.
Thank you, science.
God. Fucking. Damn it.
SHUT UP ABOUT FUCKING DRUGS.
I AM NOT POSTING IN THIS HERE FREAD.
Um.
Dammit.
Anyway, I'll just move along and let those that want to jack off over this shit get busy.

QuoteFor the second time in recent months, a scientific paper published in a peer-reviewed journal has thoroughly rebutted the present Schedule I status of cannabis under US federal law, which states that the plant and its organic constituents possess a "high potential for abuse," and that they lack "accepted medical use" and "accepted safety ... under medical supervision."
According to a just published review in the German scientific journal Deutsches Ärzteblatt International, scientific findings from over 100 controlled clinical trials involving either cannabis or its constituents provide "clear evidence that cannabinoids are useful for the treatment of various medical conditions."
Investigators from the nova-Institute and the Hannover Medical School in Germany reviewed over 100 controlled trials assessing the safety and efficacy of cannabis and cannabinoids.
Researchers reported: "Knowledge about the therapeutic potential of cannabis products has been greatly improved by a large number of clinical trials in recent years. ... There is now clear evidence that cannabinoids are useful for the treatment of various medical conditions," including chronic neuropathy (nerve pain), multiple sclerosis, HIV/AIDS, Gilles de la Tourette syndrome, and other indications.

The study linked in the OP reinforces my opinion that marijuana should be legalized, regulated and sold with an age limit.
The study linked in the OP also reinforces my opinion that marijuana is dangerous and should be kept illegal.
The study linked in the OP reinforces my opinion that only a complete asshole would insist on posting a new thread about this shit at PD.com.
The responses in this thread reinforce my opinion that PD.COM can be easily trolled without even trying. It's like a perpetual self-trolling machine.
Pro-Tip: Don't read what you don't want to read.
SOCIOLOGICAL EXPERIMENT! WE DID JUST WHAT YOU THOUGHT WE'D DO!
Thanks, Wade.

If that's your idea of trolling, you need to go back to school. Trolling, especially at PD.com, should at the very least be a tiny bit amusing.
It goes beyond that. It's damn near formulaic.
PD goes through a slow period.
PD begins to pick up.
Drug thread.
Half a dozen people fuck off to facebook in disgust at the screeching.
I believe him when he says it was a SOCIOLOGICAL EXPERIMENT and a troll. I'm just curious as to WHY he'd do such a thing.
Uh, no, see you missed the part where I said "without even trying" and "self-trolling"
If I feel like posting something I find interesting regarding a topic I'm interested in, I'm going to go right ahead and post it. People can click and read, and maybe discuss, or ignore it. If people ignore it, they ignore it, I'll live, really. If they discuss it, they discuss it. If they have uncontrollable hate prolapse, well, I dunno, see a doctor?
I think the idea that there are verboten topics (outside of anything illegal that could get Faust in trouble) pretty stupid. This is Discordia, after all, isn't it?
RWHN essentially just rejects the idea of self-discipline and/or learning from past experience. That's what it really comes down to.
Uh, no, it comes down to I'll post what I want to post (again within legal boundaries of course) and everyone else can just deal, yo!

Emotes don't work on my iPad, what a world, what a world.
It's only a verboten topic with RWHN, who will dig his heels in, post questionable studies funded by government grants (in this case, during the Reagan years) and ignore all evidence contradicting his POV, which is dictated by who signs his paycheck, and spooge himself in delight at all the humiliation and negative attention he's getting.

But it's so much FUN, Roger. And not at all the same conversation.
You know, this happens here all the time. Maybe Discordians are so starved for community (lord knows I am) that we cram ourselves into a tiny server space and wait out the storm, until the humans are finally sorted.
And we've all got cabin fever. You can only drag out the chess pieces for yet another round, slowly placing them with none too little religious fervor and precision, while you silently stare at the other person. You think about wrapping your hands around their neck and think "Soon, it'll be over soon and we can get out of here together."
Two weeks later, and Nigel has already eaten your legs and is keeping you alive with snow water so as to keep the meat fresh.
I just like posting and talking about interesting shit, I dunno bout the rest of you scalliwags.
Personally, I like beating horses into an equine aerosol, but I do try to balance this interest with the community's comfort with inhaling powdered steed.

For every post after this where someone says something about how rwhns drug threads cause drama i will do a shot. Bear in mind im trying not to drink alcohol. Rwhns got a point. If you dont like it ignore it.
My sobriety is in your metamonkey hands.
Now back to lurking.
Oh, dude, don't DO that to me! The temptation is... Well..
IS THE CANCER THAT'S KILLING PD.
Well since the temptation is the cancer killing pd then i guess i will not have to take a shot.
Oh. My. Gawd!!!
Is this a new drug thread?
Didi I just get in on the ground level of a new drug thread?
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
I've never really read one before, they get sos big so fast that I just can't be bothered to read them. I feel like I'd have to read the whole thing to post anything relevant. That's too much work, but now it's gonna update right into my updated topics list! Oh the conveniency!
________________________________
All spaggery aside, are these threads really that bad? Would it be wrong to thread jack this into a discussion of why the horses around here are unable to properly bury their dead and must settle for having their atoms sucked into a hepafilter?
I've been reading the stuffs, good and horrific, here for some time now. I don't get a lot of time in my day to post relevant things and have mostly been reading what I can in my leisure time. I really like this place and most of it's denizens. I find things here greatly worth the time to read... mostly. I regret that I cannot EVER expect to catch up on everything that has been posted.
It does sometimes seem like people post topics just seeking a reaction, any reaction. In the case of Drgz, Mgick, Etctra, The reaction is almost guaranteed, but seems to me that some of the group here have just had enough of this crap. I have not personally, but it's probably because I've stayed out of or postdate much of this kind of stuff.
Why oh why Discordia do you keep beating these particular horses into the ground? Are there not other horses out there among the normals that could be beaten into a quantum state?? Could they not learn form this and become better horse beaters themselves?
Why must the hate be perpetually turned inward when it should be shared with the outside world?

Hey you wanna go do some Krok(NSFW) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2ani5bi-lQ) later? I thought that maybe the new shit would suck, but it's just the BEST FUCKING SHIT EVEAR!!! I bet it'll make the DT that much more awesommer!!! Then it's like who cares How much RHWN's shit is making things all cloudy n shit!!! Woah... I gotta chill out some first. Fuckin' Addiez R Killer.

Yes, it would behoove everyone to cut it out.
:rimshot:
Im doing it in protest of another drug thread getting out of control and sucking up everyones time and energy. If people cant help but say "oh god another drug thread (that i just contributed to by posting this)" then this should be reflected metaphorically by something tangible. Like me drinking. Why should i try and refrain? Its simple.
Waffle irons post counts. Whether i get a nip or a pint remains to be seen. I leave work in 20 minutes.
How about a nice O'Douls?
That would fail to make my point.

For whatever reason you were trying to refrain in the first place... Speaking of refrain I saw and listened to the demos of the Archangel stuff you posted earlier it was awesome!
_________________
Speaking of Awesome Archangel man I got dusted back in the Day and was ALL like outta controll!!! I wound up in the back of a Hardee's wearing nothing but my socks with like 5 pounds of jacks stuffed up my ass chewing on my ex-gf's ear! She was so fucking pissed, and I'm like naw she can't be about to shoot me. turns out it was a security guard and He put six bullets in me man! SIX BULLETS!!! so I swallowed the ear and tried to jump him, but slipped on the blood on the floor, I think it was his, but it might have been from the jacks or the bullets, you know? Didn't matter, I just yelled at the smurf until he got me a ride on that glowing unicorn and I got the fuck out of there!!!
Oh,wow it felt so good to finally tell someone without an official title about that. It's like my soul feels cleaner you kno, like after a good time on Boomers!

The thought has occurred to me that what I have done here is emotional manipulation. I apologize. Carry on if you like.
I also only had the one shot. I'm on a tight budget at the moment and would have only been able to afford a nip either way.
It also tasted pretty gross which I suppose is a good sign.
