Study: Marijuana use dangerous to young peoples' brains

[TheDeadFlagBlues]

I'm convinced that daily marijuana use did a number on my recall abilities.

The study was of people from 18-25. That's interesting. I guess maybe if I had not smoked pot then, I would have been a justice of the Supreme Court or something. I am not challenging the study. It just doesn't comport with my personal experience really. During that time I got 3 advanced degrees.

When did you start hitting the bong? As far as I know, studies like these show that marijuana use is markedly more detrimental during early teenage years compared to later teenage years.

And now one of the studies authors says that:

1) They have not shown any causation.
2) they don't know if the differences in the brain are bad for you.

I don't think you should change your behaviour based on this study.
