Whether you read these articles or not some of you will continue to rationalize using marijuana because you are a current user or you feel you have the right to smoke marijuana. That's been stated numerous times in many threads on DP. That's not what this thread is about.
What I'm curious about is if the results of studies like these influence the pot smoking habits of the long-term or even casual user?

"This is a very exciting study because it proves for the first time what we have been really worried out. That brain problems are real and that people who smoke cannabis over a long term do get problems." he said.
