I haven't looked at that exact study, but most studies consider heavy use to be every day or nearly every day when looking at impact over time. Most of these studies depend on participant reported usage rates.

The definition of heavy use is a bit different in studies considering acute impacts such as driving. Most of these studies actually measure the blood THC content and report numbers in ng/ml, thus providing a more quantitative measure of exposure.

OH LOOK!!! It's a website with a .org!! It must mean it's legit

"
To back up his theory, Voracek has taken the controversial tables of national average IQ values published recently by Professor Richard Lynn and his colleague at the University of Ulster, Tatu Vanhanen. But instead of correlating these IQ levels with national GDP per head (as, provocatively, Lynn and Vanhanen have), Voracek has compared the various IQ averages with national suicide rates.
The results are, prima facie, impressive: there is a strong correlation between suicide rates and national average IQ in most of the countries surveyed. For instance, Jamaica, with a low average IQ of 72, has suicide rates of 0.5 for men and 0.2 for women (all suicide figures are per 100,000 person-years). Albania, with an average IQ of 90, has low suicide rates of 2.9 and 1.7. Germany by contrast, with its average IQ of 102, has suicide rates of 21.8 and 8.3; Japan, with an average IQ of 105, has suicide rates of 25 and 12."


It's a study so it must be true!!!!


From the response of some individuals on this thread, you'd think they'd put a stop to intelligence since it seems to cause people to harm themselves...

Math geek did you call my job b/c you lost this debate? Call em back in 2 days to see if I'm still employed. You might be disappointed to find out that even people who don't use support the right to chose what goes in his or hers own body.

The above message / link / video / snippet / etc by Mathgeek & MissAimsmallmissessmall can safely be ignored. For some reason
they feel that the way to continue this discussion, is to continue linking the same things that have already been refuted and proven false.
The individuals who debated this subject have no desire to continue flogging a horse after it's already been reduced to ground round.

Most meaningful discussion on this matter can be reviewed on pages 1-10, With some minor additions of new materiel on pages 10-20.

Everything discussed since has gone over the exact same content. If you want to find actual discussions based on scientfic studies, as well
as the results achieved you will find it in the first 20 or so pages. Beyond that this thread has been nothing but meme's and unvetted, biased,
non current / outdated cherry picked snips of studies.

This has been a public service announcement.

It will repeat with all future post's by MG & Co.

Have a nice day.

Why are you asking if he called?

You have to apply the same high standards he use's to determine if something is relevant or related. Using those same standards you can infer that since you were drug tested right after this debate started Mathgeek must have indeed informed on you!!!! He called up and said "Clampy has been a very very bad bubee, and he must be punished!!!!!!!"

Jokes on him if he did. I'm sure he didn't but I thought it was funny. He wouldn't wanna go down that road anyway. What's the old adage ....
"Snitches Get ... Hugs and kisses **. "
I found it equally hilarious he tried to damage control after 170 comments. After almost 500 his argument is even more ridiculous than page 3. It's be reduced to " weed can kill your dog". We must lock up adults to save the dogs!

Dude needs to bounce a hen or something

I will tell you what he would say

"Smoked weed everyday in high school and got a 4.0"
" smoked weed everyday at LSU and got a 4.0"

"Smoked weed everyday thru med school and got a 4.0"

"I'm a DR now and still burning "

Something along those lines.

Then math geek would tell him that because a kid might one day smoke a J that he should have been put in jail years ago.

I believe MG is reluctant to agree because the possiblity of the legalization of weed in Louisiana will also bring forth the liberal agenda to a state which has strictly been conservative. It is qutie possible that MG has experienced this first hand with the events in Colorado and the fears are more than just the health/addictive issues associated with weed.
