Cannabis & Drug Laws (incldg. Biden's Pardon)

Correlation is not causation.

Even as early as in my junior high days, we noted some students as "stoners". And we knew the term "burnt out" as something to do with weed smokers who went past their prime.

On the other hand, we have Richard Feinman as a past user, and some guy at NASA who solved a problem who lit up and "wrote the fucker."

And I have heard gossip about Apple programmers who were practically given cocaine to get their deadlines met.

I have read many times about psychedelics improving peoples' "big picture". I suspect there is truth in that.

Is grasping at straws permitted?

I definitely forget things more often when I do indica.

Winston Churchill drank a fifth of whiskey every day.

At his desk. In his office. As PM.

He functioned quite well that way - but I wouldn't recommend it.

Yes, there are potheads who do well. The guy who founded Progressive Insurance was a stoner (can't remember his name; but in the finance world this was known.) Again, that doesn't make it a good idea for others.

Lifetime Cannabis Use Not Associated With Cognitive Decline or Dementia Risk in Older Adults
Miami's Community News

Investigators affiliated with Yale University and the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom assessed cognitive performance in lifetime cannabis consumers and non-users across various domains — including memory, intelligence, and problem solving. Researchers reported that those with a history of cannabis use “demonstrated significantly better cognitive performance,” a finding that is consistent with prior studies. Cannabis use “was not associated with increased risk of dementia” and researchers found “no supporting evidence of a causal link with cognitive decline in later life.”

Several other recent studies have reported similar results. For example, an Israeli study of over 67,000 older adults reported that participants with a history of cannabis use “performed better across all cognitive domains: attention, executive function, processing speed, visual and working memory. A Danish study similarly concluded that cannabis consumers experienced “significantly less cognitive decline” over their lifetimes than did non-users.
