It appears that habitual cannabis use, particularly from adolescence, can result in permanent reduction in IQ:
An international team found those who started using cannabis below the age of 18 - while their brains were still developing - suffered a drop in IQ.

A UK expert said the research might explain why people who use the drug often seem to under-achieve.
This might explain why Cheech and Chong's Potheads Make Better Quantum Physicists never got beyond the I-just-made-it-up stage.

I saw that on the news, wasn't the drop in IQ only in single figures? (I'll look at the link when I'm home) I think they quoted around a 7-8 point drop. I suppose that's a fair percentage of the total if you're already sub-par though... :-/

Yes, it was 8, but that's still a fair drop at any level. Unless you're me, in which case you have IQ points in abundance. But I don't smoke pot, although I have tried to pickle the odd neuron or two here and there.

The human brain is the root of all evil. Pot is therefore a force for good.

"you'all"? It's either 'you all' or 'y'all'. But I'd rather you used Her Majesty's Great British English, not Louisiana trailer trash talk.

If Feds call you and say something bad on me, it may prove what I said are truth, they are afraid of it.

Don't be ridiculous, dogs can't pass IQ tests. They can't even look up!

If you're going to get testy, could you take it out of my thread? This is strictly for trivialities only.

So, can dogs look up? Yes, but only to a certain degree. ‘Big Al’ was almost right.

You may find this site useful when you come to make further ridiculous claims in future.

For instance:

The burden of proof lies with someone who is making a claim, and is not upon anyone else to disprove. The inability, or disinclination, to disprove a claim does not render that claim valid, nor give it any credence whatsoever. However it is important to note that we can never be certain of anything, and so we must assign value to any claim based on the available evidence, and to dismiss something on the basis that it hasn't been proven beyond all doubt is also fallacious reasoning.


As it happens, I did look and the only thing I could find was stuff like this:

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/32349079/ns/health-pet_health/t/dogs-are-smarter-toddlers-iq-tests-show/#.UEZU1NZlQ2Y

So, even we give them the benefit of the doubt and pretend that a dog is as clever as a 5 year old, are you really suggesting that anyone with the literal mental age of a 5 year old could be trained as a competent soldier and dog handler?
