A young man on pot realizes that all matter is merely energy condensed into a slow vibration; That we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively; There is no such thing is death, life is only a dream within the imagination of ourselves.

As a child or young teen who is still developing, obviously anything that messes with your body/mind isn't good for you.

Now apply this same study for alcohol and tobacco,
and lets see the results

I'd like to see this "research" get a comprehensive peer review... it would be laughed at. Instead you get a professor of a dead science pat them on the back in a newspaper article and call for an ad campaign.

Damn...so I really did make myself more stupid by smoking pot at age 16.

I know IQ tests are meant to be well rounded but you can make any number of tests that would get different results, these results by themselves are not real scientific data. Real data is measurable and verifiable UNIVERSALLY. We're talking significant, re-creatable evidence. Therefore this 'study' isn't even properly scientific, it will never be taken seriously.
- They would have to demonstrate some physical damage or neurological deficiency in the test subjects. They did not at all.uuuuuu

Maybe some of the test subjects were just plain old garden-variety morons.

IQ tests are designed equally for right and left brain people. there are just as many questions pertaining to analytical thought as there is to Visual-Spatial ability.
although it's true creativity is subjective and can never truly be tested or scored.
- IQ tests are more aptitude than intelligence... if you know what I meanuuuuuu

Fear mongering non-conclusive bull shite

OK, maybe it's not perfect but then how do you test intelligence?
Is there any way to test?
- There are so many types of intelligence, and so much is untestable in a clinical setting. People are too diverse.mikotondria3
- there is no good way at present. Intelligence is subjective and relative to environment, subject etc.Amicus
- There are lots of ways to test intelligence but its not quantifiable and exact. Its like ... are you smart or stupid?uuuuuu

An 8 point IQ drop is no joke.
Considering that IQ only ranges about 30-40 points generally.

Let me put it this way, you have a bunch of people who are more likely to achieve good IQ scores because of natural ability AND experience in logical questions, occupation and mathematical education etc. You have another bunch of people who are inclined towards conceptual, creative and abstract thinking who generally do less well on IQ tests but aren't stupid, and very able in other fields like design, law and business etc. just like some of the most brilliant and successful people in the world... what group is more likely to smoke pot while a youth?
