The title here seems like it’s drawing much more conclusion than the paper gives - really should read “Study Correlates Regular Cannabis Use in Adolescents with Reduced Verbal Memory Performance” Better yet, “Stoned Teens Don’t Listen” hah.

Don't want to create a new thread for this, but my suggested title is: "Moderate adolescent cannabis use may have adverse effects on cognitive functioning"

  Why not “Lower cognitive function may make moderate adolescent cannabis use more likely”?

    "Factor X may contribute to low cognitive function and cannabis use."

the title was copy-pasted from paper’s “Findings” section. Can’t paste all the nuances in the title, so checkout the actual link.

  Here is the actual sentence the title was edited from: >After correcting for multiple testing, a greater frequency and earlier onset of regular cannabis use were associated with poorer cognitive performance, specifically on tests of verbal memory. I thought the bad grammar was just a typo, but it was due to you cutting up the sentence to mean something different than what the paper actual states.

  I don't see the post's title in the "Findings" section. I do see: "a greater frequency and earlier onset of regular cannabis use were associated with poorer cognitive performance, specifically on tests of verbal memory"

Isn't this the kind of misleading title that should lead to folks flagging the post? That's what I did. I feel the title (in addition to containing a typo) is intentionally misleading, omits key info (the fact that the paper is about adolescents only), and exaggerates other info. For me, that's a flag. If I'm using flagging wrong, someone should tell me. :)
