[QUOTE="joshpoints, post: 699926, member: 546465"] There was actually a study can't remember if I read it or heard it on the news but it showed that statistics say weed causes college students to do worse in school than their counterparts. Unfortunately I can't remember where I heard or read this so I can't post any links or quotes. on a side note: Pot Smoking Damages Lungs Smoking marijuana may be more dangerous to your lungs than you think. A study by researchers at Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham, England, found that even short-term use of marijuana can damage the lungs of young people, BBC News Online reports. The researchers tested the lungs of nonsmokers, cigarette smokers, and people who smoked marijuana. They found that the lungs of marijuana users had more damage than cigarette smokers' lungs. The study, presented at a British Thoracic Society meeting, concluded that less than six years of smoking marijuana was enough to cause significant lung damage. "The consensus among many young people who use cannabis seems to be that they will not suffer any long-term effects as long as they stop smoking it early enough," researcher Dr. Sarah Nuttall told BBC News. "However this is clearly not the case. Our study shows that even short- term use of cannabis in addition to tobacco use does have an impact and makes a serious difference to lung function," Nuttall said. ----- From Henry Ford Health . org [/QUOTE]
