*Sigh...*
I never said pot makes you smarter, and I believe the whole point of misombra's point was just to have some fun with a logical fallacy (it reminds me of the one that proves women are evil... which I will post if you have all been living under a rock for the past 20 years.)
Do you really think the "National Institution on Drug Abuse" offers unbiased information on drug research? Granted, NORML probably isn't completely neutral either (they are a pro-legalization group,) but either way, your new source doesn't say anything that contradicts what I said, which was this:
A medical fact? Easy to say that, but somewhat harder to prove, as there are no studies that have legitimately determined that.
All that has been determined is that it has some effect on memory. I'm not sure where I heard that, though... If I remember I'll - what are we talking about?
Huh? Oooh, cheetos!
When I'm done laughing at my hilarious charm, I will repeat that I never said pot makes you smarter. What I said was this (another gem, ah...):
Smoke pot by yourself, write things down, draw, sing, dance... It might not make you "smarter," but you might notice something about yourself or the world that would have slipped past you otherwise. Drugs can help you to be a better person. Watch out for addictions, with drugs and with sex. Both will send you spiraling into a scattered mess of insecurity.
I'll stand by my position.
