Reefer Madness pointed this out in the ‘30s.

Same response @as yesterday...

Link to abstract...@Persistent cannabis users show neuropsychological decline from childhood to midlife

.pdf link is there as well...you have to sign in.

So once again subjective research is to be considered objectively conclusive.

If such testing habits were applied "across the board" or were "applicable to everyone" then saying spoons and forks are the real reason people are obese is as realistic as saying smoking weed causes a drop in IQ.

With reasoning like that, you should probably just stick to your cartoons.

Since teens report that they can get pot more easily than beer or cigarettes, it looks like the most effective way to keep pot out of teens' hands (and still-developing brains) is to legalize it for adults - so sellers have an incentive not to sell to kids (namely, the loss of their legal adult sales).

A doper with doper policies for his doper supporters....

This is for you, I thought you may enjoy it.

Sorry to say that this Czech News Paper article hit the nail on the head...Obama is a symptom of and not the cancer that is eating away at America !

QUOTE OF THE DECADE :

This quote was translated into English from an article appearing in the Czech Republic as published in the Prague Zeitung of 28 April 2011.

“The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of entrusting an inexperienced man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president... The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America . Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince... The Republic can survive a Barack Obama. It is less likely to survive a multitude of Idiots such as those who made him president.”
