Fingon Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 The idea that “marijuana makes you dumb” has long been embodied in the stereotype of the slow, stupid stoner, seen in numerous Hollywood movies and TV comedies and going unquestioned by much of American culture. But a new study says no: the researchers followed nearly 2,000 young Australian adults for eight years and found that marijuana has little long-term effect on learning and memory— and any cognitive damage that does occur as a result of cannabis use is reversible. So it doesn't make you stupid, and won't give you cancer... Why is it illegal again? http://healthland.time.com/2011/07/19/study-marijuana-not-linked-with-long-term-cognitive-impairment/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fan in Chicago Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 They haven't studied our stoner posters, have they? Strangely, I had the exact same thought. And now I realize that I had been unfairly blaming marijuana all along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because toking up doesn't make you stupid, doesn't mean there isn't a correlation between "stupid" and "pot". Could easily be that "stupid" makes you smoke pot.
