Are you saying that the most "cognitive" smoker you know is less so than the least cognitive non-smoker?
- 5trokerac3 8y agoWithin the middle of the cognition bell curve, yes. Pattern recognition, organizational skills, general personal awareness and motivation are all higher in the non-smokers I know compared to the daily smokers.
- shawnz 8y agoSo then actually you're just talking about the average, right? If that's the case, then I think it's a bit harder to justify that cannabis use is the cause of those symptoms and not an effect of them.
- 5trokerac3 8y agoI mean excluding exceptional cases. Someone who has an IQ of 150 who starts smoking daily will still probably be more cognizant than a sober person with an IQ of 80.
- mbrameld 8y agoMy guess, anecdotally, is that the people you know who are perpetually high on cannabis are not the only people you know who are perpetually high on cannabis.
