Long Users Showed Avg. IQ Decline of -5.5 points

[Observe & Report]

Long-term cannabis users showed IQ decline from childhood to midlife (mean=−5.5 IQ points), poorer learning and processing speed relative to their childhood IQ, and informant-reported memory and attention problems. These deficits were specific to long-term cannabis users because they were either not present or were smaller among long-term tobacco users, long-term alcohol users, midlife recreational cannabis users, and cannabis quitters. Cognitive deficits among long-term cannabis users could not be explained by persistent tobacco, alcohol, or other illicit drug use, childhood socioeconomic status, low childhood self-control, or family history of substance dependence.

I think home schooling has a greater effect on intellect
Not in a good way
Blind leading the dumb

You can't teach a stoned dog sober tricks.

Most potheads are really good at selling their relatives belongings to pay rent, just like any other drug addict.

My relatives are mostly on disability. No drug use. They are hooked on religion. Myself I smoke weed but nothing else. I retired at 62. Not on disability.

I have noticed the older I get the less I give a s*** about d*******. I can't say if it's the weed or life.

Zookies strain fired up. Another couple points.

I wonder what the non smokers iq is vs them at 18. That seems key for comparison...

Damn should of rolled the dice against cancer and just smoked tobacco. Who cares if it gives you black lungs and kills you, at least you'll be smart enough to understand why your dieing

A somewhat new study reveils that THC could help old brains:

A chronic low dose of Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) restores cognitive function in old mice

It's all debatable. Too much of everything is bad for you. Even water. Cigarettes and alcohol have more effects and related illnesses than Cannabis. We're all lucky to hit age 30-50 with minimal to no health issues at some point. The air we breathe, the food we eat, the water we drink all have some degree of consequences most long term. Its all inevitable. Just live life the way it makes you happy. I have found solace in cannabis. Not just consuming but growing it. I don't see how cannabis is any more harmful than pharma. Pharma has been around maybe a hundred years. Just the other day I heard about how the golden standard of a aspirin a day for seniors (something doctors have been saying was good for decades) was retracted by the FDA. Originally was something elderly should take to lower blood clotting and blood pressure but now finding has leads other health problems and retracted the recommendation. Do/Be/Pursue what makes you happy to yourself and others. Life's short and nothing is guaranteed.

As someone who has smoked Mota since 1969 I can say I believe those findings. I am pretty sure my Intelligence Quotient has dropped at least five points. But on the other hand I do have a new theory: I am an old man now and my Giveashit Quotient has gone way up.

Roll him a catnip doobie and see his reaction,

Shit that reminds me, I gotta water the catnip.

 

[Polly Wog]

I've never smoked catnip.

I've never smoked catnip.

How about apple seeds or banana peels, ?

We raised tobacco so we had plenty of twist. But I never really was a smoker. I know burley if smoked will make you dizzy. And a bit sick. At least it did me. Chewing the same. Not my cup of tea. Superboof ain't bad.
