I loved the line:
The APA noted that young people who become addicted to marijuana lose an average of six IQ points by adulthood.
A complete distortion. It was actually a single presentation at the American Psychological Association (APA) convention that made that claim. I see no indication on the APA website http://www.apa.org http://www.apa.org that the statement was endorsed by the group.
I can't help but see this as a commercial attempt to keep the failed war on drugs (and the government money) rolling.
