Why Do People Think That There Is a Major Link Between Marijuana and Intellectual Disabilities?
Question by Seahawksfan44: Why do people think that there is a major link between Marijuana and Intellectual Disabilities?
As a person that has never smoked a joint of Marijuana in his life due to it being illegal, I am a huge supporter of it being legalized since Marijuana is WAY safer than Alcohol and Tobacco due to the fact that it has milder short term effects and few long term effects (if any!). All I hear about on the news is how ‘Marijuana causes Intellectual Disability, and how it turn any genius into an Intellectually Disabled person’. Well there’s three reasons why I don’t fully believe it yet:
1. I’ve spoken with many pot heads, and they are WAY more aware than those who are drunk. They actually sound like themselves when they speak, just a little more like they are away from reality. Long term pot heads seem to have a worse short term memory, but there long term memory is actually still decent from what it looks like.
2. About the only thing that I’ve noticed is ‘laziness’ in pot heads, and laziness is not the same as what we are talking about here.
3. Short term smokers who don’t abuse it by using it too much (Marijuana addiction is MUCH milder than Tobacco addiction) seem to be more intelligent than they were before they smoked Marijuana.
4. They seem to have a superior attention span after smoking Marijuana.
Tobacco and Alcohol are more likely to cause long term brain damage than Marijuana would in my opinion. If anything, I think that Marijuana is one of the things that can’t cause Intellectual Disability in this society. How come people say that Marijuana causes Intellectual Disability when Marijuana only impairs the brain in the short term?
