You left out the other stuff about marijuana: lower IQ and higher risk of psychosis.



You in turn left out the important note on that:

> these effects only occurred among those who smoked marijuana daily; more infrequent users suffered essentially none of these effects.


"essentially" = ?


Lower IQ and risk of psychosis if used daily.

As an anecdote, I noticed this in three of my friends who smoked daily for years (2-4 years), out of four friends who did and I didn't notice this at all in friends who smoked occasionally (out of... many friends).


Does it matter at what age you start smoking? What are the effects on ppl who start smoking daily in their mid thirties.
