Lately, there was a vote for California to legalize it. The vote failed like 32 - 37 or something to that effect. Public acceptance of the substance is raising. People aren't as afraid of "reefer" as they used to be. Maybe not now, but soon, it will happen. :/

The vote failed

Good we don't need more stupid people.

And yes, I am indeed saying people who do pot are usually morons.

I'm very hesitant to start doing drugs, because I'm the kind of a person who will never manage to get away from addiction.

Moreover, I will get arrested when I come back to Korea lol

The scale of the graph is ludicrous. It takes people of mildly above average IQ ratings, compares them to people who would be considered literally mentally retarded at a young age and then draws a overly general conclusion about drug use. One might hope handicapped individuals are having a greater amount of care and supervision rather then their 'intelligent' counterparts who can't be bothered to write up a proper study.

Funny how you can use the internet to find a solution in one case, then using the internet in another case results in misinformation. Strange world.

They used people with all sorts of IQs, between 75 and 125 which is maybe ~90% of the population? (edit: nvm, it includes ALL IQ's, the most extreme brackets are <75 and >125) And the IQ's are measured in middle and high school, these aren't kindergarten kids. They tested for drugs 7 years after recording IQ. The guy who did the article was more interested in proving his evolutionary hypothesis correct than anything else, but the studies he used found that intelligence is correlated with psychoactive use, tho he didn't link them anywhere or go into detail which bothers me a lot.

Consistent with the prediction of the Hypothesis, the analysis of the National Child Development Study shows that more intelligent children in the United Kingdom are more likely to grow up to consume psychoactive drugs than less intelligent children. ... "Very bright" individuals (with IQs above 125) are roughly three-tenths of a standard deviation more likely to consume psychoactive drugs than "very dull" individuals (with IQs below 75).

Jelly? yea.

Re: Weed being legalized in Canada.

who really cares about their IQ? I started smoking when i was 12, earned a 3.2 GPA in high school and currently have a 3.0 GPA in college, and am graduating in 4 weeks. I don't think those IQ tests show anything.

I did start using other drugs, unfortunately. It was kinda hard not to get bored with it after 7 years.

I wouldnt consider myself smart or an idiot, just right in the meaty part of the curve: not showin' off, not falling behind.

As per the OT: i think this might shed light to Americans to not get all worked up over a plant. If not i might move to Canada: Cali is too expensive.

Re: Weed being legalized in Canada.

I read somewhere that 1% of all the electricity used in the United States is utilized by growing lights. That's $5 billion.

Imagine how much that would be reduced if say, I don't know, everyone was allowed to grow outside using natural light?

Conspiracy Theorists: Could the electric companies of America be fighting against legalization because growers make them $5 billion richer every year? :O
