Thought you might like this! Put Down the Bong and Prove This Study About Stoners Wrong Esquire Evelyn Wang 22 hours ago From Esquire High-functioning pot aficionados Abbi and Ilana, Bill Maher, and the young Barack Obama would all like a stern word with UC Davis, who released a study last week claiming that stoners tend to be losers. The study, which tracked habitual tokers from childhood to their late 30s, found they ended up in a lower social class than their parents, with lower-paying, less skilled, and less prestigious jobs than those who abstained from the devil's lettuce. Those who embraced the ganja also were found to have more financial, work-related and relationships problem, which only got worse as they aged and their list of Ghosts of 4/20s Past got longer and longer. But correlation isn't causation! protest the well-danked. Well, actually, it might be in this case. The study, done by an international team of researchers, controlled for factors like "sex, ethnicity, family substance-dependence history, childhood self-control, childhood IQ, history of psychopathology, achievement orientation and adult family structure." It's worth noting that the sample size of around 1,000 all hailed from New Zealand. So, fingers crossed it's just something in the water.

Hummm, I know several that smoke and everyone of them are very successful from degree's to owning their own business. They have raised their children to make their mark in this world above even what they have done... Funny some that I know that smoke everyday are some of the smartest ones I have ever known. They read constantly and work a full time job never late for work. Drinking is worse then smoking yet cannabis gets the rap~~~ Politics line their pockets on liquor taxes~~ so they push that~~ Hahaha but too stupid to know that if they legalize cannabis it would out sell liquor~~ Not like it was not legal at one time..

Dea? Lol nah, As some of my true blood native friends say, FBI. Full Blooded Indian. Though I tell them it's native, not Indian. Indians are in India. And remember that comercial with the Native explaining that he didn't call it corn, he called it maize? You call it weed, i call it Tananka. Lol. Well I grew up in the desert southwest. Smoked it almost all my life. It is preferable to alcohol to me. But pale face law still rules. So I go with the flow. My favorites were Indica and the ever faithfull Afghan kush. Now I take care of my Dad and I report to the VA. So I'm towin the line. Thanks for asking BeachFarmer!
