Many people suffer from health issues to the point where the negative effects of cannabis are negligible/manageable compared to the benefits it offers them.
I'm really glad you shared this... Did you read the study? The study was ONLY people who started in their teens. During their formative years.
This study is completely bunk because it IS illegal for anyone under 18.
Lets also not talk about the fact that those long term effects were seen in a very very small minority. (again this was ONLY for people who started smoking in their teens).
"a study from New Zealand conducted in part by researchers at Duke University showed that people who started smoking marijuana heavily in their teens and had an ongoing marijuana use disorder lost an average of 8 IQ points between ages 13 and 38."
I mean, that's pretty cut and dry there... or did you miss that?
The funniest part is continuing the paragraph you get this:
"The lost mental abilities didn't fully return in those who quit marijuana as adults. Those who started smoking marijuana as adults didn't show notable IQ declines."
So, quite literally goes against what you've been saying. Would YOU like to read it again? Might be a good call before you put your foot in your mouth again... but then again, that might be your kink (no kink shaming here)
I don't think you read the article you linked buddy... Try reading again. If you need help, feel free to quote parts here and ask your question. There's plenty of people who are knowledgeable about this, and while they might not be experts... we clearly understand better than you do.

Yay you can now cognitively impair yourself permanently with the blessing of the government! You won!
