Why the Feds Still Support Marijuana Prohibition —Reason #2
Marijuana use is associated with cognitive impairment, including lower IQ among adult chronic users who began using marijuana at an early age.
Like the Fed’s first reason for maintaining marijuana prohibition, the same is true for alcohol and tobacco as Ingraham points out. He also point out that the study cited by the ONDCP looked at changes in IQ among heavy marijuana users, defined in this case as those who smoked marijuana at least four times a week. In general, the authors found a “small” IQ effect for people who had used marijuana heavily at some point in their lives, with the exception of those who showed consistent heavy use over a period of 20 years, for whom the negative effect was “medium.”
Again, this is a solid argument for a minimum age and moderate use. Tomorrow we’ll dispute the gov’s third farcical reason for continuing to enforce marijuana prohibition.
