They assessed them as children - before any of them had started using cannabis - and then re-interviewed them repeatedly, up to the age of 38.

For example, researchers found that individuals who started using cannabis in adolescence and then carried on using it for years showed an average eight-point IQ decline.
Stopping or reducing cannabis use failed to fully restore the lost IQ.

Welp, I'm still smarter than most people.

I think it's because the majority stop giving fucks about learning/just learning/life in general when they get high (provided they don't get high and bring harm to themselves which would explain the low IQ) and don't give fucks about anything ever... thus they don't know/remember how to write the average essay on pot itself, or maybe some other essentially simple academic things.
Then again some people might be taking Marijuana at 'the right times' (the wrong times with the wrong conditions/people), and messing up their brains as they develop anyways.
Anyone could react to any substance differently, right? And what about all the environmental conditions in their life? Would being exposed to hormone blockers/growth hormone on a regular basis fuck up the chemistry/affect someone more adversely than the everyday adolescent/person smoking cannabis?
And then some people could be wired in such a way that exposure to the chemicals in said drug would mess with them anyways. Are there Genetic Markers responsible?
Seb is without a doubt

and this probably wouldn't include him because I'm pretty sure the Universe speaks to him when he trips balls anyways.
