The most obvious difference: The people who regularly toked up had less volume in the orbitofrontal gyri. This brain region is part of the orbitofrontal cortex, “one of the primary areas within the reward system, which is basically a network of brain regions implicated in the addiction process,†said study author Francesca Filbey, an addiction researcher at the Center for BrainHealth at the University of Texas at Dallas. “More specifically, the orbitofrontal cortex is important for decision-making. This is the area of the brain that would learn something is good for us or bad for us.â€
The researchers did find that marijuanausers scored lower on an IQ test than non-users did
Filbey said. “[The brain] isn’t able to sustain itself past continued use of about six years.â€

They are just coming to grips with being considered stupid by their overseers. This might put them over the edge.

fizzgig proves the theory.
She tried to cook Sunday dinner, but when she found out that "pot roast" does not contain marijuana, she ordered a couple of gut bombs instead.

This made it to the DIscusionist. The DUmmies denied everything! Fire bad, pot good.
Now I see why Democrats are so quick to legalize pot. it keeps the rabble stupid and with no ambition to better themselves...perfect slaves for the elite.
