Well of course. They're the cool kids now for doing pot. Will they be so cool when they're 30, stoned, and too lazy to get out of their parents' basements?
Correlation does not imply cause and effect.
and some, not still living as 30 year olds in their parents basements will be in psychotic wards.
Similarly, a study of more than 5000 youngsters in Chicago has found those who ski and play golf do as well or better in some areas as those who play basketball.
What a joke.
That said my personal survey of 65 years has led to the observation that most pot smokers are very laid back and tend to be less driven than people who don't smoke pot. Also their short term memories are pretty bad.
I have known a lot of pot smokers(so do all of you if you but knew the truth about all of your friends and aquaintances)and the heavy users are pretty much useless.
One of my nephews fits into that category except he finally quit smoking it and made something of himself and admits that he had no inclination to actually work while he was smoking(he smoked from high school until he was about 30). I am not talking about the casual user but those that indulge frequently during the day every day. This is my observation and not intended as scientific fact, but I would say my survey over the years is just as valid as the one mentioned in this article. My observations are only valid for the pot smokers I know, not for all.
......it’s not crack?
“Marijuana has its positives, study shows.”
Everything has it’s positives, except global warming.
The potheads I've known only have other potheads as close friends. It's a tight social group, like a gang. But it must be sad knowing all your friends come from only the 5% of the population who are habitual users.
Isn’t feeling good a positive also?
No, they will probably steal an operating system and start a company like Microsoft, make a gazillion dollars and live happily ever after.....
In college, I just noticed the stoners smoked more dope than non-stoners. It’s not exactly scientific but I’ll stand by it.
People could smoke dope all day long and still function. But they sounded like TB patients
Pot should be legalized immediately.
‘Will they be so cool when they’re 30, stoned, and too lazy to get out of their parents’ basements?’
One of the biggest myths ever created by propaganda in world history.
A casual glance at the numbers/percentage of Americans that have smoked marijuana at some point, and those that use it ‘regularly’ demonstrate it just isn’t ‘real’.
Says the only side effects are 1-being slow at math and 2-not being able to drive. But these sideeffects go away after a few hours.
The only other sideffect is trying to be an inventor instead of going to the ‘corporate’ world.
He uses an herb vaporizer so there’s no smell and his lungs dont get covered in tar.
99% of the ‘stoners’ I know are actually highly motivated

Nothing in this study I haven’t known for 30 years or more.
