What do you guys think? I started using at 21, but tried my first time at 19, so I feel kind of safe. I wonder if this is BS because it seems legit...

I also don't know if this is the right forum for this, but I hope to get some replies.

Total BS i think, I've been smoking since junior high and I'm now two years into college with a 3.5 gpa

GPA is not the same as IQ. You would need to measure it throughout your life.

Here is further explanation as to why and who MJ lowers IQ and makes people less ambitious (on average)

This so-called study is PURE BS in my case at least. Took an IQ test in 7th grade and came out with a score of 135. Took 1 again in 2002 and scored 145. I can guarantee you that I would attain that score or higher. So whose side are you REALLY ON ANYWAY???



PEACE & POT EVERYWHERE

You need to look at averages and not specific people. There are super smart potheads out there but that does not mean that the study is BS.

Yeah we make up a load of bullshit in this country, and even though BBC is sought out to be the pride of terrestrial television, it's not, and it conjurs up lies too like everyone else. It must just be a bad time at the moment for them and they're needing to step in and defend the anti-weed movement like knobheads.

As I asked the 1st time: whose side are you really on? Please don't evade questions like a politician....


PEACE & POT EVERYWHERE

I use MJ for medicinal reasons, but I sacrifice myself to the truth. I am not here to pick sides.

Garbage I get between 85 to 100 in my college classes since i started smoking pot exactly a year ago. Before I started smoking I couldn't concentrate which is why in High School I got bad grades. Believe what you want but the only people that I've seen that have low IQ's and smoke weed are the people who already had low IQ's in the first place. If you want to buy into this BS of a study go for it the rest of us know the truth.

BS from this point forward shall now be known as an initialization of Barbara Streisand. Type at will.

These individual reports calling it BS are even more BS. You need a similar scientific study that shows the opposite and not provide dogmatic opinions from personal experience.

IQ is pretty meaningless.

regardless everyone is different it is not accurate testing at all...

I contend that the best marijuana study in existence is "Super-High Me".

The New Zealand IQ study was too small to generate conclusive evidence of marijuana's effect on IQ. It needs to be verified independently by experts not being paid by the prohibitionist machine.

If it turns out to be valid, that's all the more reason why marijuana should be legal for adults while remaining illegal for minors.

What I wanted to say was that clays post makes the connection that these and other researchers consistently omit and which the public at large fail to realize and that is the research holds no water in the real world.
I just read a research article YESTERDAY that stated cannabis smoke causes testicular cancer in young men who smoke cannabis. Wouldnt the medical community see a recurring theme of testicular cancer and marijuana usage all over the country?! It is absurd. What's sad is that the researcher of the testicular cancer and cannabis smoke link WILL PROOVE in his next research project the biological processes which cause this phenomenon. Talk about drawing the target around an arrow and a complete waste of money!!!

absolute waste of time its just a general attempt for people who think MJ is bad to say hey this is what will happen if you smoke! Another brainwashing attempt to claim drugs are bad! complete BS
