Some teens already smoke pot. But if it becomes legal for adults, it will only encourage more teenage pot smoking, not less. Anything that becomes more commonly used will seem more acceptable. And it will be more available too.

Will this change anyones mind? Duh?  |
I have read the report, and all it measured was physical changes to the brain. The only correlation drawn to specific disorders was that in those disorders, physical changes to the brain were observed. IQ is not mentioned at all in the report. Additionally, all the pot smokers in the study were also heavier drinkers than the control group.
