Persistent cannabis users show neuropsychological decline from childhood to midlife

I've always assumed that it knocked 10 points off my IQ.
But I had plenty to spare.
Really, this is not me making shit up.
I started a job a few years back and explained to a co-worker that I did a LOT of drugs in my youth.
She nodded and told me it was probably good for me, since it dropped me down to the range of regular people and allowed me to communicate with them.
She refused to talk to me on each Monday until we had a "so, how was the weekend" discussion.
No work, no project, no nothing.
FORCED me to engage in small talk.
It was a training exercise. I miss her. She knew what I needed.

Ok, that me, and maybe a couple of people out there reading this. What about the rest of people, the normal ones. The ones that end up in the 90 points range when they are done. Do you really think it is a good idea for most of them?

Sorry. I'm not saying I'm stopping, I'm just trying to accept reality.
