   This summary references several studies demonstrating pot use by youngsters decreases IQ and increases risk of certain mental health issues.

   https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9255894/

   There are also plenty of studies that show both those risks are significantly reduced in adults (25+).

   Apparently you believe that pot is such an unmitigated good that one can't even make a joke about a truth that reflects poorly on it. I'm not interested in pursuing this further with a zealot.

     @tj ok found the referenced study. And proves nothing. One study, that accounts for nothing else but pot, really means nothing. Obviously consuming ANY chemicals as a cild with affect brain development. But that does not even almost prove that it kills brain cells. IQ points do not equate brain cell death. You said KILLS BRAIN CELLS. Zero mention of killing brain cells.
