 Pro Con This is due mainly to the fact that marijuana has a negative impact on the using individual's intelligence. A study (recently) led by an American university shows that marijuana users tend to have below average IQ's, unhealthy brain structures, and weak memory performance. Moreover, the AMA (American Medical Association), stated that extreme usage of marijuana can result in medical impairment, anxiety, and psychotic thoughts. |
