but hey, at least you don't believe you have brain damage, have an ability for critical thinking, and question every piece of bullshit that is fed to you via proverbial spoon. |
but, canadian camaraderie aside, here is another study that does state there was an 8 point iq drop:
Marcus: If teens use marijuana 'regularly,' they drop 8 IQ points | PunditFact
but 'regularly' is something like 4+ times a week, before you are 18, and would need to smoke like this till you're 39. Then, you get into the fact of whether IQ does measure intelligence, and further into the fact that you are basically an idiot anyway if you're dependant on something for over 20 years.
but, to discuss booze just damaging liver, that's not entirely accurate:
Ethanol (Alcohol) Metabolism: Acute and Chronic Toxicities
'the body?s digestive process creates metabolites such as acetaldehyde and other ?reactive oxygen species?
which are toxic to the brain and other cells in the body. This is why you have a hangover, after drinking large quantities of alcohol.'
so..
