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.

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.

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?
