"Young cannabis smokers run risk of lower IQ, report claims"

[Rocket50]

I didn't read the article, but did they have a baseline group? One that underwent the same observational process, but didn't smoke at all?

>Doesnt read article
>doesnt even read tl;dr

They chose 1000 people at random who've never smoked during pre-teens and then followed up during adulthood

8 points is kind of high as far as the scoring goes.

An IQ of 100 is average.

108 isn't exactly impressive.

For anyone who wants to know if there was a control group, it's a generally accepted fact that IQ scores are supposed to increase slightly with age. At least that's what Wikipedia said when I read about it.

IQ of 100 to 92 is a pretty big leap. And the control group were the people who never smoked, of which their IQ's raised or stayed the same
