The association between early marijuana use and health problems. A longitudinal study

hyphyjoose said:

"In this prospective longitudinal study, the authors investigated the association between marijuana use over a period of 13 years and subsequent health problems at age 27. A community sample of 749 participants from upstate New York was interviewed at mean ages of 14, 16, 22, and 27 years. Marijuana use over time was significantly associated with increased health problems by the late twenties, including respiratory problems, general malaise, neurocognitive problems, and lower academic achievement and functioning. Effective prevention and intervention programs should consider the wide range of adverse physiological and psychosocial outcomes associated with marijuana use over time."​

Did you take note of the author's respective affiliations? Did you take note of the time scale of the original data? Did you take note period?

All you've done this entire time is keep talking about affiliations and personal fallacies instead of actually dismantling the data from the uc davis international study with the rigorous scientific expertise that you say you harbor

I don't know what's more pathetic, your lack of argument or the fact that I've spent nearly 4 hours responding to all this bullshit lol

I can't respond to you in the way you wish because you have no concept of re-worked data, academia paper padding, agenda driven publications, etc. Besides I'm a stoner

Dude..where did you get that post? How old is that? I finally got my ass back to school a few years ago and just finished recently. I switched from a graduate degree program instead for web development certification with an associates.

I would imagine that was 4 or so years ago, back when I dealt with an extremely violent incident that during the time gave me some pretty bad PTSD. I almost feel like that's a low blow to bring that up in this thread

Actually I'm glad you are bringing this up. Because now looking at what I was going through so long ago, and seeing how I've been able to pick up back the pieces and put everything back together, is making me proud of myself. It's been a long time since I've been on this site and even longer since I've really actively posted. A lot happens in 4+ years

Actually now that I'm reading history post from so long ago, it's making me realize I smoke less pot now too, but that's probably because I have work + I'm too busy fighting on the internet when I'm not smoking
