I mean it all depends on dosage right? And if you're smoking more CBD or THC. I had a friend who overconsumed caffeine until his heart rhythm started going bananas and he was hospitalized. But I've known many people who got stuck in the druggo trench, be it because of cannabis or not, a common denominator was they were all smoking weed.

I mean if we are going with “knowing people” as an anecdote, I know a LOT of extremely rich, successful, and motivated people (especially in SF and NYC) who smoke cannabis basically nonstop.

Irrespective of the judgment made, the expert mandated for that case( they were two distincts group) concluded the same. The cannabis hashad an effect on the behaviour.

I use the case as an illustrative example of the effect of the cannabis. Not judging the case here

How so? I pointed out a flaw in responding to my question with a study performed on adolescants.

Did he say anything disprovably false?

I mean, I'm also arguing against him in this thread, but this comment in particular doesn't really stand out to me

Do you want to address the main point of my comment or focus solely on the secondary point I made?

Thanks. I don't think that person actually read the study, they just wanted to slap some things onto their bias to prove their point - as I said.

That study tested the effects of withdrawal within long-term users, and the cognitive impairment resulting from that, over 28 days of abstinence.

From the conclusion:

> It is unclear whether these deficits might be attributable to a residue of cannabinoids in the central nervous system or to withdrawal effects from abruptly stopping cannabis, although both factors likely contribute. In any event, our data suggest that these deficits are largely or completely reversible after 28 days of abstinence.

So, this study found no evidence long-term permanent cognitive impairment, which does nothing to prove the point the person who posted it was trying to make.

Because such assertions should be based on evidence.
