dang what about other people outside your sample size that did smoke under 18 and then became successful? what was your control group also?
If you want to provide your own anecdotal evidence to refute the parent comment, fire away.
> The study has limitations. It was an uncontrolled, cross-sectional study, so the association seen between cannabis and brain function can’t be considered causal.
So even this study doesn't say it's causal, and admits to many other limitations. I agree with your point about evidence and science though, but this is hardly a smoking gun that cannabis makes you dumber.
Most adolescents who get heavily into any drug generally have issues--this includes alcohol and nicotine, as well.
teen drug use is trending downward and i think thats a good thing so stuff being posted like this just sounds weird to me - as a teen “drug user” that now has a computer science degree, I’d say the kids maybe need a huff of something, they dont seem ok to me. of course thats just my anecdotal opinion, dont do drugs, of course.
