Not true studies have shown if you smoke pot starting around 13-14 your grades suffer and I know 10-20 kids that happened too. the ones who didn't grad from college in 4 years with good degrees like engineering. the ones who smoked early have either dropped out or are in their 7-8 year of college as a soph or junior

Reviews 21, 22 of working memory function in psychiatrically healthy individuals who smoke marijuana regularly concluded that such individuals exhibit performance impairment on primary and secondary working memory tasksrelative to healthy controls, and such impairments have been found to be associated with the self-reported frequency of marijuana smoking. ..... p://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2846369/ Message 28289713 Pot-Smoking Teens See IQ Dip, Reasoning Skills Decline as Adults Message 28366041 We all have experience with heavy pot smokers and this is common knowledge.

They also show that blue cities and states and Democrats have disproportionate gay percentages. The survey below suggests Democratic men are 3x more likely to be light in the loafers and that the percentage of gayness in Democratic men is increasing dramatically. That by itself strongly suggests that gayness is a choice for many democratic men. How else could the percentage of Democratic gay men increase so rapidly within a few decades except by choice?
