The assertion seems fishy on its face, because of how IQ is measured in standard tests, so I've conducted a thorough scholarly search for the original scholarly publication. The trouble is that even though the Rosen quotation has been widely cited in opinion pieces and blog type stuff, the underlying study is not available. It is not clear how this purported study was performed of if Rosen just made it up, because she did not cite a scholarly source (authors, journal, title of article).

This purported email and phone call induced IQ drop, is it long-term (like with marijuana use), or is it temporarily limited to the time when one is multitasking the emails and phone calls, etc.? Science is not science at all unless the methodology, data, and results are published. This one fails the smell test. But I bet the claims fool lots of pot heads.

Too bad they didn't catch this dude with a joint. If only.

dang, I was unaware of this. I figured that weed wasn't the main thing though

Just playing the game like you do.

So science is defined as the quoting of scientists?

What's sad is do to his squareness all his cool colleagues who burn never let him know so he never met a person who he looked up to who was a toker so his perception is a little off.

Science is publishing a full methodology along with the data so that experiments can be properly interpreted verified by independent sources.

You posted nothing but an anonymous quote out of context. Meaningless.

The real "drug" that is affecting people's IQ is Facebook. Ban that sheet! I see people with MBA's and CPA licenses who sound like their straight out of that stupid movie "Clueless" when it comes to Facebook.

At USAFA, we had a data analysis problem in the math class presenting data for IQ vs. weekly hours on Facebook.

No, weed was likely the only thing he distributed that I wouldn't have a problem with. If my memory serves me right(), he'd been away for multiple kilos of cocaine prior. I looked for links but, cannot find them. I remember hearing of him on the news last year or, in '12 though. He wasn't the "innocent herb dealer."

Exactly.

Just like everything you post about cannabis. You love you some anecdotes

Mathgeek, S T F U, you just look stupid.

How's the saying go?

When you have the facts, argue the facts.

When you have the law, argue the law.

When you have neither, attack your opponent.

As far as your last sentence. WE CAN ONLY HOPE.

[DannyI]

True dat Geek, only true acceptable methodology, approved calibrated instrumentation that meets approved SQC criteria, is acceptable data, all other is considered nonsense whether it's in petroleum, health & sciences, etc.

Dude, you eat gafftop, not attacking you - just stating the obvious. You're not my opponent, you are too much of a mental midget to rise to that status.

Yea, he was a repeat offender. And no I don't neccesarily disagree with putting repeaters away for life, but I do disagree with putting a guy with a couple grocery bags of weed away for life and then letting your ******cking buddy off the hook and giving him 10 years for raping and molesting his neice.

The system is awesome.

Get popped once for drugs.
Goes on record
Can't get a job cuz you are a convicted druggie

Society says to rehabilitate but you can't get a job now so what are they supposed to do I guess go back to what they were doing and pray not to get caught.
The system perpetuates itself and keeps nice nonviolent offenders behind bars for prison labor. I mean who would you want cleaning up roads and stuff like that the inmates do. Murders or Johnny that got caught with dime bag ?
