Not sure I’d attribute MY loss of memory to reefer, buty it IS a gateway element to an entire life structure / style
This study is not just talking about memory loss, they are talking about schizophrenia, serious mental disorders. As they admit, it is difficult to tell which came first, but they claim that the percentage of schizophrenics who are marijuana users indicates a definite connection and they have some studies of brains that show the brain damage from marijuana use is similar to the brain damage in schizophrenics.
One of the studies was done by the same guy who did the study on IQ and marijuana use, possibly on the same group of subjects. It’s curious to me that no mention was made about the link between marijuana and schizophrenia in the first study report.
Anyway, my son in law’s brother is schizophrenic and my son in law has always said that his mental problems were from early drug use. The guy was a good student in high school and a good base ball player and member of the ski team in spite of the drug use, but when he got to college, the drug use escalated and he just flipped out. He is now a full blown schizophrenic, hears voices and everything.
