"We determined marijuana use for seventy 17- to 20-year-olds through self-reporting and urinalysis. IQ difference scores were calculated by subtracting each person's IQ score at 9â??12 years (before initiation of drug use) from his or her score at 17â??20 years. We then compared the difference in IQ scores of current heavy users (at least 5 joints per week), current light users (less than 5 joints per week), former users (who had not smoked regularly for at least 3 months) and non-users (who never smoked more than once per week and no smoking in the past two weeks).
"Results:The comparison of the IQ difference scores showed an average decrease of 4.1 points in current heavy users (p < 0.05) compared to gains in IQ points for light current users (5.8), former users (3.5) and non-users (2.6).
"Whether the absence of a residual marijuana effect would also be evident in more specific cognitive domains such as memory and attention remains to be ascertained."
With all their knowledge and proof, they want to come out and say "parents raise your kids with 'Pot'. Keeping them from consuming it, will not harm them, but stunt their growth, as compared to more "cultured" kids", but they will not because then they're program would be shut down.
So, leave it to me, without the program, to say it for them.
