Smoking Pot

The statement I just read said smoking pot would decrease your IQ. This is not true, a family member smoked it for years & is still as quick, bright & intelligent. I do not approve of it, but you accept what you cannot change.

I also agree with you Anna. I have a relative who's been smoking mary jane for the past 40 years and he's still very vibrant and witty for his age. Perhaps a small percentage of people out there are negatively affected by it's qualities, but nothing too out of the ordinary i'd imagine.

Found a brief article on this topic here:

If anyone else has information to share that would be great!
