Yesterday, The Journal of Neuroscience released
a study by medical researchers from Boston’s Harvard University and Chicago’s
Northwestern University on the inherent dangers associated with recreational pot
usage
.
The analysis concludes
that even “light to moderate recreational
use [of marijuana] can cause changes
in brain anatomy.” The study was
conducted with youths in the 18 to 25 age bracket. All participants were from the Boston
area
.
The results are quite disturbing.
This study calls into question the quality of judgment and
the nature of research demonstrated by proponents in favor of legalizing pot consumption
for recreational use in New Jersey.
