Square Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 I don't have time to read the link right now, but do they differentiate between habitual smokers that started after they were 21 and those that started when they were younger? Just wondering. I don't find it surprising that kids doing a drug while their brains are still forming could have permanent damage, but I'd be surprised if adults (say 21+) are permanently affected to any real measure (or at least more than alcohol).

Azazello1313 Posted August 28, 2012 Author Share Posted August 28, 2012 And drinking does absolutely nothing to lower your intelligence level. Moderate drinking may actually improve brain power, according to Japanese research. the key word there being the first one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meh, I still say we should legalize it then and just make 21 the min age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joose Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Meh, I still say we should legalize it then and just make 21 the min age. I second that, about the worst thing that 'cannabis' can do to someone is make them overdose on cookies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ditkaless Wonders Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 I wonder what toking everyday from 13 to 30, drinking everyday from 12 to 35, several hundred acid trips, a hundred or so shroom trips and a dozen peyote trips, coupled with massive cocaine abuse does to one's I.Q? I wonder if nitrous factors in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your thread title is misleading. The whole point of the article is to point out that kids/teens who become habitual smokers suffer from the stupids. I agree. I didn't start until my mid 20s.

delusions of grandeur Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 And drinking does absolutely nothing to lower your intelligence level. True, as proven this Cliff Clavin knowledge bomb, The Buffalo Theory: Well, you see, Norm, it’s like this. A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it’s the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members. In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Now, as we know, excessive intake of alcohol kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. And that, Norm, is why you always feel smarter after a few beers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SEC=UGA Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 In all seriousness, wasn't this all known decades ago? Haven't you read, weed is good for you. There are no bad side effects from Josh Gordon and people who smoke it suffer no loss of motor control while high, unlike people who drink. Further, from growing Josh Gordon we could reap huge environmental benefits as the fiber from the Josh Gordon plant can be turned into rope, cloth and many other useful things with less environmental impact than farming cotton or sheep. Further, weed has great medicinal properties. It cures everything from cataracts to gout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if we actually legalized and regulated Josh Gordon you would have less children smoking pot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
