Interesting study, though i do agree with the articles description of peer review that the subject group represents such a small pool, that its hard to draw universal conclusions. 25 kids, half smoke pot, and the study doesnt elaborate on their other habits, but does mention thst alchohol also alters the brain, same as weed? Next there will be a study telling us all that water is wet.

One thing that stands out unrelated to the study itself, is that in a state and city where marijuana is illegal, a bunch of these test subjects sure smoke a lot of pot.

Reinforces to me what a waste of time making it illegal has been. If someone wants marijuana, its easy to find it, no matter the laws prohibiting it. All it takes is the will, availability is apparently a non issue.

Legalize it, tax it, and put the money saved and the money earned toward something more worthwhile. Maybe education on the downsides of being stoned or drunk all the time

I can't seem to find the actual study anywhere, maybe because it's so new. I'd like to see it though.

True. When I went to auto school, it became apparent to me that even seemingly quiet "bedroom communities" have easy access to pot. One of the kids there was doing high school online because he'd been expelled from his town's high school for selling pot.

Pot is everywhere.
Having a zero-tolerance attitude towards it will not yield good results.
Indulge or not at your own peril, but do not judge too harshly those that do.
You will find yourself alienating many great minds.

6 joints a week I'd say is hardly casual use.

Seems mild to me personally, as a vice to be indulged in. I just compare it to a person who has a glass of wine after work every day, and a couple six packs on the weekends.

Or people who smoke 2-3 packs of cigarettes a day. One joint a day? seems downright moderate, I figure its to be expected from casual use of an enthusiast.

It is absolutely universally available everywhere. So much for it being illegal.

Thats a set of laws that are observed just about as much as posted speed limits are

The study was conducted on young people. An 18 year old who has a glass of wine a day and a couple of six packs on the weekend??

ok, cut out the wine, quintuple the beer, add a little hard stuff on the weekends mixed with a generous amount of jello

these are college students after all

I'd actually be curious to read a study of the differences in brain changes between young adults who smoke marijuana and those who convert to fundamentalist religion. Once the data is in, we could have an interesting debate about which of the two is more beneficial and which, if outlawed, might improve society.
