Researchers found persistent users of the drug, who started smoking it at school, had lower IQ scores as adults.

They were also significantly more likely to have attention and memory problems in later life, than their peers who abstained.

Furthermore, those who started as teenagers and used it heavily, but quit as adults, did not regain their full mental powers, found academics at King’s College London and Duke University in the US.

They looked at data from over 1,000 people from Dunedin in New Zealand, who have been followed through their lives since being born in 1972 or 1973.

Participants were asked about cannabis usage when they were 18, 21, 26, 32 and 38. Their IQ was tested at 13 and 38. In addition, each nominated a close friend or family member, who was asked about attention and memory problems.


Poor pinheads....so sorry for you

What explains the lack of intelligent posts written by you Bravo? Alcohol?

Researchers, what researchers? What is the name of the study? Where is the paper published. How were the control groups handled? Who studied them for this time period? We're there other drugs used or ingested, was there alcohol use? What environmental factors were taken into consideration? Did they all receive the same food and sleep? Did they have other illnesses?

A 2002 longitudinal study published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal concluded that "marijuana does not have a long-term negative impact on global intelligence," and that "current marijuana use had a negative effect on global IQ score only in subjects who smoked 5 or more joints per week." The study, which monitored subjects since birth, examined IQ scores before, during and after cessation of regular marijuana use. It found current light users and former users showed average IQ gains of 5.8 and 3.5 respectively, compared to an IQ gain of 2.6 for those who had never used cannabis.[SUP][94][/SUP] The study did however show an average IQ decrease of 4.1 for heavy users.[SUP][94]

everything in moderation my friend.

hardcore stoner, yes, you are going to lose some IQ. but that's probably true for anything. Smoke every now and then, and become smarter.

The miracle drug.
