But the fact that your IQ decreases if you are a heavy smoker? ???
Didn't know about that one... ;) |

Well, I didn't expect it to make me smarter.... although if you read the whole article you'll see that it says that the light smokers actually did get "smarter" (their IQ became higher)... hmmm
Anyway, I don't consider weed as a drug (but that's a different story..) |

I don't know how accurate this study is. Let's assume it was done according to scientific and statistical standards. It found that if you smoke pot, but less then 5 joints a week your IQ will INCREASE more then if you don't smoke at all. Another problem I have with this study: Heavy smokers have high levels of THC in their blood a long time (at least 2 weeks) after they stop smoking. I guess that the participants in the study were ordered not to smoke a night before they took the test. Even if we assume that they followed this pattern (btw, how many of you 'heavy' smokers will follow an instruction like this) they still were under the influence of THC in their blood and the IQ test contain a lot short-time-memory tasks.
Another point, Recent studys showed that to succeed in life, EQ (Emotional quality) is far more important then IQ. |

Weed makes people stupid. I don't know about the IQ, but when I watch some of my "friends", I can see that they have become selfish, arrogant and not so nice people to cope with. I admit, I used to be one of them, but thank god not anymore. I can actually watch my mom in the eyes and ask for some money. I can actually concentrate on homeworks and having good time. I can actually have a nice weekend without worrying where to get some weed to smoke.
I mean it's still fun to smoke sometimes, like once in every two months or so.. and maybe a little more at summer time.. but too much is TOO MUCH!!

[center]"that they have become selfish, arrogant and not so nice people to cope with"[/center]
Don't you think that it is conected to your age? I didn't smoke anything when I was a teenager (started with cigarets when I was 21 and moved on) but still, I was "arrogant, selfish and not so nice", not to mention my disability to look in my mother's eyes. |
