DATA/STUDY marijuana use lowers iq by -5.5 points + shrinks hippocampus



with weed being legal in 24/50 states for recreational use, and weed becoming more popular + normalized,
remember to protect your brain. you only get 1 brain.

I just mentioned in another marijuana thread, that every regular weed smoker I've ever known seems to exist with their brain operating at about 70% capacity. It takes them slightly longer to figure things out and comprehend fairly basic concepts. Its like the gears up there have gotten a bit rusty. Never really looked into it, but just from being around avid smokers from time-to-time, I've always figured that marijuana has to be very harmful on the brain. Typically not the brightest bunch of individuals.

i think it combines a lot with lifestyle.

When i smoked growing up, and my stoner friends, all had bad sleep schedules, didn't get 'quality' sleep, bad diet, didn't use our brains more than absolutely necessary - on top of always just thinking about/looking forward to smoking again.

idk if thc is inherently harmful in itself, but it fosters an environment that will overall for sure make you perform at sub-optimal levels.

Lol at this propaganda.
If you dont want to smoke weed, stay away, no one is forcing you.
There are things that are way worse than weed like alcohol and reddit

IMO people I knew that smoked weed regularly before 21-22 have tons of mental health issues in their late 20s/early 30s and usually no ambition

Tf you need to relax from at 17 years old

inb4 people get mad at me for saying weed is bad, anything is bad if you do enough of it esp at peak years of brain development

interesting but one study doesn't prove anything. I'm sure there were plenty of studies done saying that smoking cigs or drinking soda were healthy.
Plus there's plenty of research that exercising and not being obese helps with cognitive ability, but no one gives a fuk lol...
Does this study indicate that marijuana lowers IQ, or only stupid people are lifelong users of something illegal? If marijuana was legal, would the results be the same?
More studies should be done, I hate how its so taboo that we all blindly assume it's so awful or great without researching it, especially as it becomes legal.
Not saying its bad, or that its good, I just don't know

then don't fkn smoke every day all day, not hard.

There's responsible ways to drink and blaze. It's called having a glass of wine or joint once in a while.

sure, as long as you can keep the skunk-like odor to yourself somehow and magically make it so that drivers on the road are never high when behind the wheel. alcohol is poison too, no contention there, but lmfao at thinking it's propaganda.

THC fuks me up more than shrooms for some reason

If I could sacrifice some of my IQ to be happier and more chill than I would

Growing up, the biggest stoners were always the least productive people by a long shot. I never knew if it was the weed that made them slow or was it that slow people are more likely to smoke weed?

I tried it a couple times and hated the way it made me feel. Alcohol agreed with my system a lot more.
