Basically: pot makes you moderately dumber for the rest
of your life,
...
I prefer that to the idea of losing 20% of my
intelligence.
Where are you getting this from? You're entirely within your right to not use marijuana, but it sounds like you have this idea in your head that you treat as fact.
- mbrubeck 12y agoThe New York Times article links to scientific studies on the long-term effects of marijuana use, measuring factors like memory loss. ("Lose 20% of my intelligence" is not supported by any of those studies, though.)
- mikegioia 12y agoNeither of those claims are supported by any study or evidence; they don't even pertain to memory loss. They're totally subjective but it gets tossed around like fact, that's why I'm wondering.
