Next way, uh, in which marijuana use can harm people, possibly lowers intelligence.
Uh-huh, uh-huh.
Which is, uh- Can you read this one slowly to me, please?
I wonder if one of the ways that, uh, lower intelligence is expressed is, uh, not retaining the same tense among items in a list.
Because we have becoming poorer with more relationship problems and then possibly lowers intelligence.
Yep, possibly.
Doing whatever you feel here in this article.
Some evidence indicates that marijuana use decreases the intelligence of people who take it.
The most consequential study comes from New Zealand, parenthesis, the Dunedin study, where researchers followed marijuana users from age 18 to 38 and found that people who began using marijuana in adolescence lost between 6 and 8 points from their IQ!
And quitting does not reverse the intelligence lost.
So here I was thinking, what possible scientific evidence could they have against the use of marijuana?
But it's right here, IQ.
They were studying the scientific metric of IQ, the intelligence quotient.
We all know The scientific, uh... The rock solid scientific foundation of the IQ.
What's really scary... That's what they're basing it on.
What's really scary is it becomes stagnant, apparently.
Apparently, you can't learn anything after you stop smoking weed.
So, you... Why stop then?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I would opt to keep learning.
Yeah.
Keep it... Keep squeegeeing that third eye.
Like, cause I think as long as you keep smoking it, you're gonna lose some, but you can still gain some.
You know what I'm saying?
Future studies disputed this somewhat, as researchers discovered cannabis users, quote, already had significantly lower IQ scores.
No, no, no, not cannabis users.
Stoners who were like, yeah, I'll do your study.
Like, yeah, maybe that's something.
Put another way.
Cannabis did not drag down their IQ.
It was already low.
To put that colloquially, researchers are now pursuing the chicken and egg question of whether adolescent marijuana use makes people stupid, or if stupid people choose to use marijuana.
Oh no!
We'll never know!
Oh no!
Uh, does marijuana make breast cancer survivors stupid?
Or are breast cancer survivors stupid to begin with?
