Pot Smokers Might Not Turn Into Dopes After All
ananyo writes "Back in August last year, we discussed a study reportedly showing heavy marijuana use in teenagers had been linked to a decline in IQ in later life. Now, a new analysis suggests that the study may have been flawed. Using the same data, the researchers found that they could explain the IQ drop by properly accounting for socioeconomic factors — such as individuals from poorer backgrounds being more likely to smoke cannabis as well as having reduced access to schooling."
Bam! They do more of it, and it isn't!
Who designed this religion anyway?
I forgot what I was going to post !
You realized that there wasn't a statistically significant correlation based on a sample size of two?
What have you been smoking?

Then I met someone else who had been smoking since he was 14, and he was an engineer.
Engineer? ~snort~ Clearly the pot prevented him from achieving a respectable career in theoretical physics.
Bazinga!
Randomly getting the first post yo. Thank you THC.

Miller Lite tastes like water that's somehow managed to rot.
He's totally going to be first tomorrow, so GET OFF HIS BACK, MOM!
What political party do you join when you don't like Bible-thumpers *or* hippies?
"pot use reduces not only IQ but also wealth and access to schooling"
how many pairs of boxer shorts should you own?
"A friend with weed is a friend indeed"

I'm really stoned right now and low or high IQ, this is the best I can do for this conversation.
Be seeing you...
If anything, it assisted me with diving in to the world of UNIX
So THAT explains it! I've been looking at this all wrong. (sometime later) Yeah, like, everything's a file. See this? It does ONE thing, really well. Just ONE thing. Wow, man!
No, man, UNIX is just a gateway drug to Plan 9. That is where the everything's a file stuff gets deep and, like, totally networked.

Both you guys have been negated.
Mr. Obama, are you listening?
No, he doesn't listen to idiots who refer to him as "the 'blessed' leader."
I went to eat some animal crackers and the box said, "Do not eat if seal is broken." I opened the box and sure enough..
