    William,

    Look at the actual studies. The evidence is thin.

    And other possible causes like PTSD/child abuse we not looked at. PTSD/child abuse is also known to lower IQ. And guess what? People with PTSD/child abuse are known to self medicate with pot.

    Maybe the real problem is child abuse and the resultant PTSD.
