REEFER MADNESS DEBUNKED AS MAJOR UK STUDY FINDS MARIJUANA DOES NOT REDUCE IQ IN TEENS
Here we have fact-based science that counters the anti-marijuana propoganda put forth by the establishment - gotta love it!

"A large study conducted in the United Kingdom failed to find evidence of a robust link between cannabis use and lowered intelligence among teenagers.
The study, published online January 6 in the Journal of Psychopharmacology, found a statistical association between cannabis use and decreased intellectual performance. However, this association vanished when the researchers took other variables into account. “The notion that cannabis use itself is causally related to lower IQ and poorer educational performance was not supported in this large teenage sample,” wrote Claire Mokrysz of the University College London and her colleagues.

The findings are based on 2,235 teenagers who participated in the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC), a long-term study following children born in the Bristol area in 1991 and 1992. The children had their IQ tested at the age of 8, and again at the age of 15. Nearly a quarter of the participants reported having tried cannabis at least once, and 3.3 percent had used the drug at least 50 times.

The teenage cannabis users had lower IQ scores and worse educational performance. But the researchers found no evidence that cannabis itself was to blame for the correlation. Teenage cannabis users were also more likely to have had problems in childhood and to have used other drugs, such as cigarettes and alcohol.

“After adjustment to account for these group differences, cannabis use by the age of 15 did not predict either lower teenage IQ scores or poorer educational performance,” the researchers explained. “These findings therefore suggest that cannabis use at the modest levels used by this sample of teenagers is not by itself causally related to cognitive impairment. Instead, our findings imply that previously reported associations between adolescent cannabis use and poorer intellectual and educational outcomes may be confounded to a significant degree by related factors.”"

It isn't the short term, mild use that's the problem and it never was. The study is intentionally misleading just like all those wine and chocolate studies that claim it's good for the heart.

I've personally known three guys who fell victim to constant pot use. All were top mark students who started pot like I did as a teen. Two graduated high school with me, the other was basically Tommy Chong by the time high school ended. The two that graduated high school with me kept smoking pot in college, neither graduated when I did.

Of the three, one was beaten to death trying to mug some woman for drug money. Another went into rehab and it took almost two years before he could get through the day without drooling on himself. At 27 he was finally able to get a job at a lumber yard and eventually made it to foreman. He got married at thirty and seemed to have his life together. At 31 he started back on pot, got fired, got divorced and within a year was living in a basement suite with another pot head. I saw him at a school reunion a few years ago and this guy I knew my whole life couldn't even remember my name.

The last friend I'll talk about is a guy who was prom king, voted most likely to succeed and wanted to be a cop when he got out of college. This is the guy who never even made it out of high school. He died after wrapping his car around a tree last year. The girl in the car with him who survived said they had just gotten high and got the munchies, she didn't even remember getting in the car that night. She'll remember getting high that night for the rest of her life though, she lost a leg and has pins in most of the left side of her body.

as for me, I quit pot before high school ended. I Graduated college with two degrees and got in on the ground floor of a business. I helped build it up into a success, bought into it with a loan from a bank, cashed out when we got an offer from a bigger firm and retired at 39.

Sorry, but you can't argue with common sense. The reason the government wants a society full of pot heads has nothing to do with freedom. It's about power, money and control. Idiots are easier to manage, deceive and rip off.

they've been printing evidence of it causing symptoms of mental illness in teens here lately
to cover up and prevent the inevitable backlash of how they imported and used evil men to defile and ruin the lives of the most staunch supports of good

which is actually like medicinal government gro-ops, just setting the stage to remain in control of shit they have no business having their filthy cloven devil hooves on

And they didnt for 100 some years because they just recently turned bad? WTF kinda logic are you using brother?

Let me tell you my story...

I've personally known three guys who fell victim to constant propaganda. All were top mark students who started out like I did as a teen. Two graduated high school with me, the other was basically Ronald Reagen by the time high school ended. The two that graduated high school with me kept buying the propaganda in college, neither graduated when I did.

Of the three, one whose doctor had hooked him on Oxycontin was beaten to death trying to mug some woman for drug money. Another went into rehab for the constant barrage of propaganda and it took almost two years before he could get through the day without drooling on himself. At 27 he was finally able to get a job at a lumber yard and eventually made it to foreman. He got married at thirty and seemed to have his life together. At 31 he started back on Fox,ABC,CBS,NBC got fired, got divorced and within a year was living in a basement suite with another propagandist. I saw him at a school reunion a few years ago and this guy I knew my whole life couldn't even remember my name yet knew everything about Sean Hannity.

The last friend I'll talk about is a guy who was prom king, voted most likely to succeed and wanted to be a cop when he got out of college. This is the guy who never even made it out of high school. He died after wrapping his car around a tree last year. The girl in the car with him who survived said they had just been talking about how he was gonna kick down a door and shoot a pet one day after getting his GED- winning the drug war for the good guys and they got the munchies, she didn't even remember getting in the car that night. She'll remember how brave he talked that night for the rest of her life though, she lost a leg and has pins in most of the left side of her body.

as for me, I quit propaganda before high school ended. married a princess, live in a castle happily ever after.
