One note to ILoveTV: You can't believe all studies. Remember the study that shows that seatbelts in golf carts is bad? The authorities told us this lie for 20 years in TV. Tell that to the families of the 10 dead fellow TV'ers who were ejected and killed. Can't believe everything you read. Real life experience is a better indicator IMHO.

Yes, I do remember. Most, if not all the golf cart studies were done on golf course turf, where being ejected onto grass is clearly safer than being ejected onto concrete curbing causing open skull fractures and hemorrhaging, and also being subject to being run over by cars and trucks going 25-30 mph.
By comparing golf course turf usage of carts to usage in TV's city streets and traffic in a city of 100,000, they were comparing apples to oranges.
And yes, my real life experience tells me many formerly brilliant people who are chronic pot users are now brain-fried and in a chronic stupor with noticeably deteriorated cognitive abilities.
I think the National Institutes of Health are qualified to do, evaluate and present the studies in the article I linked.
