It's all over the news today - a longterm New Zealand study shows that regular use of cannabis by young people results in a decrease in IQ. Well, as Captain Hotknives sagely observed, Jimi Hendrix won't help you with your maths exam, and regular use of anything by adolescents, whether alcohol, dope, glue, or tobacco, is not a good idea. They should be outside playing football, goddammit!
However, I can't help noticing that the bit of the report showing that the same effect is not present in the cannabis users who started as adults is strangely absent from the British news reels...
