No shit.

Even now, however, the authors of the study acknowledge that they cannot discern whether a pot smoker's smaller orbital frontal cortex is the cause or the result of chronic marijuana use. A 2012 study found that subjects with a smaller orbital frontal cortex at age 12 were more likely to start using marijuana by age 16, suggesting that deficits in this crucial region may predispose one to substance-abuse behaviors.

So rats are dumber when they smoke. Must be conclusive.

Carl Sagan toked. Many of the smartest most successful people I know smoke.

At worst, this puts heads on a level playing field with the amygdala laden conks.

My mother and I (both quite geeky) used to watch Cosmos religiously in the early 80s.

Yeah, but you also smoked pot at some point, so you must be a moran. Sorry.

Chicken or the egg.

People with smaller brains more likely to take drug.
People who take drug more likely to have smaller brain.

Either way, potheads have smaller brains.

I'm sure there is a study that contradicts this.

So...are you disagreeing with the study, the NY Times, or merely frustrated that I have proven correct once again?

Take your time. I understand you suffer from a neurotransmitter deficiency.

Trust me, your lack the common sense for me to ever get frustrated with you.

kalmy, there are a lot of holes in this study for potheads to exploit, but you choose not to.

No need to exploit obvious holes.

Maybe not be an smart ass. That might help you in life. Or your golden years. I'm sure there is some university study that can make a different claim. Btw, it was appropriate that you would ignore one of the findings:

But the study, which compared 48 users with 62 “control” subjects who never smoked, found that the brains of the former had “higher functional and structural connectivity”. Due to overcompensate from the damage.

That's interesting.

From Tmans article :

So, the thread of this misleading.

Yeah. This study basically says, maybe so maybe not. There's not consensus or hard truth. Fail.

I'm glad somebody caught this.

I see that the NY Times is back on your good side.
