Study shows no relationship between moderate adolescent cannabis use and exam results, IQ

at Medical Xpress

It's hard to know what causes what- do kids do badly at school because they are smoking weed, or do they smoke weed because they're doing badly? This study suggests it is not as simple as saying cannabis is the problem.

“The device that was used to recriminalize the black population was drugs. The drug wars are fraud — a total fraud."
-NOAM CHOMSKY

Quote:

“The anti-marijuana campaign is a cancerous tissue of lies, undermining law enforcement, aggravating the drug problem, depriving the sick of needed help, and suckering well-intentioned conservatives and countless frightened parents. Narcotics police are an enormous, corrupt international bureaucracy … and now fund a coterie of researchers who provide them with ‘scientific support’ … fanatics who distort the legitimate research of others.”

William F. Buckley, Jr.
Commentary in The National Review, April 29, 1983, p. 495

– John Ehrlichman,
White House counsel to President Nixon
on the rationale of the War on Drugs:
"Look, we understood we couldn’t make it illegal to be young or poor or black in the United States, but we could criminalize their common pleasure. We understood that drugs were not the health problem we were making them out to be, but it was such a perfect issue…that we couldn’t resist it.”
