It may also cause schizophrenia. So you know, there are trade-offs.

Edit: Thought of a reason to explain why there was less brain damage in the people who both smoked and drank. You stop drinking when you go to smoke weed, so the "doesn't smoke" group likely drank more than the "does smoke" group. Sounds plausible to me and doesn't involve any "pot is a magic brain cure" conjecture.


i agree in a sense but its not so much that you stop drinking when you smoke, but that if you do drugs and smoke your probly going to reach your limit and either pass out or start throwing up alot quicker then if you were just drinking.

still elading to the same conclusion that people arnt drinking as much as the binge drinkers who can handel a whole case before they reach their limit.

In developing children yes. I don't think you'll find many people who will argue that children should smoke anything, or drink alcohol for that matter.
And I can't speak for the next man, but I don't stop when I drink.

You are a "developing child" untill your early 20s. Almost all studies done on the subject (Way more than this one study that proves nothing) are based around people who smoked weed in their high school years.

But every time I got drunk first and smoked pot later the world would spin and I would feel ill!

From personal experience, I have debunked this.

I understand what you experienced, but think about it : did you ever felt like the world would spin when smoking pot and NOT drinking alcohol... Now think about what happens when you don't smoke, but drink too much alcohol.
Edit : The thing is alcohol is bad when you drink too much, it alterates your judgement... and you often do stupid things. Just think about how you feel the next day when you drink too much one night.
Marijuana on the other hand, (with moderation) just helps you open your mind, be more in the present moment (reality)...

Just listen to Bob Marley, he knows it better than myself :

True, but high school students shouldn't be smoking or drinking anyway.
Also after a person becomes a legal adult it really shouldn't matter.

Highschool students shouldn't do a lot of things, they still do.

And lets be honest, the vast majority of marijuana users are under 21. Sure lots of people over it still smoke but they're not the majority. A friend of mine quit because he noticed the dealers were younger than him and he was only 22.
