Marijuana link to lower IQ is disputed

Category: News | Posted on Tue, January, 15th 2013 by THCFinder

NEW YORK -- A new analysis is challenging a report that suggests regular marijuana smoking during the teen years can lead to a long-term drop in IQ.

The author of the new paper says pot might not have anything to do with the mental decline seen in the original study, and that other factors may be to blame.

The original study included more than 1,000 people who'd been born in the town of Dunedin, New Zealand. Their IQ was tested at ages 13 and 38, and they were asked about marijuana use periodically between those ages.

Participants who said they were dependent on pot by age 18 showed a drop in IQ score between ages 13 and 38, according to researchers at Duke University and elsewhere. Their report, which got wide attention last August, suggested pot is harmful to the adolescent brain.

Not so fast, says the new analysis, published online Monday by the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Ole Rogeberg of the Ragnar Frisch Center for Economic Research in Oslo, says the IQ trend might have emerged from differences among the study participants in socioeconomic factors like income, education and occupation.

He based his paper on a computer simulation. Drawing on results of earlier research, It traced the potential effects of those socioeconomic factors on IQ. He found patterns that looked just like what the Duke study found for smoking marijuana.

In an interview, Rogeberg said he's not claiming that his alternative explanation is definitely right, just that the methods and evidence in the original study aren't enough to rule it out. He suggested further analyses the researchers could do with their data.

The Duke scientists, who learned of Rogeberg's paper late last week, say they conducted new statistical tests that ruled out his explanation.

Rogeberg says they need to do still more work to truly rule it out.

Marijuana attorney says he will make ballot in D.C.

Category: Medical Marijuana | Posted on Tue, January, 15th 2013 by THCFinder

Paul Zukerberg, a District attorney who wants to decriminalize marijuana, said Monday that he is the first candidate to turn in enough signatures to qualify as a candidate in the April special election for a seat on the D.C. Council.

In a statement, Zukerberg said he turned in 3,091 signatures from registered voters to District elections officials – 91 more than required.

But based on past elections, Zukerberg may not have turned in enough signatures to withstand a possible challenge over the validity of his petition.

D.C Elections Board officials often toss dozens or hundreds of signatures for being invalid because they come from someone not on the voter rolls.

Mindful of his narrow margin, Zukerberg said he plans to continue collecting signatures through next week, when he plans to submit an updated total.

So far, 20 candidates, including interim council member Anita Bonds (D) and Republican Patrick Mara, have announced plans to run in the April 23 special election for the citywide at-large seat.

Potential candidates have until Jan. 23 to gather the required signatures, which can be a cold and grueling process during the winter. It’s widely expected that multiple announced candidates will fall short.

Zukerberg, 55, is an Adams Morgan attorney who specializes in defending marijuana possession cases.

He plans to argue during the campaign that the District needs to engage in a serious discussion about decriminalizing marijuana, arguing to many residents are drawing criminal records.

If he qualifies for the ballot, Zukerberg will also campaign on improving education, a more sustainable transportation network and ethics reform.
