BBC News - Young cannabis smokers run risk of lower IQ, report claims
Just thought I'd mention it - an interesting report on BBC Radio 4 this morning whilst I was waking up.

Honest answer...If you want to fly commercially you have to put down the blunts if you're a private pilot or in some part-time operation well as long as you're not flyingwith it in your system I personally don't care just DON'T GET CAUGHT and be clean for your checkups...they have home drug testing kits
weed ain't that bad...the other stuff---not good in general...don't duit...
and No PA is not on 'drugs'...just being honest...had to give up weed to fly...
This is why pprune is anonymous...

Not A Pilot
However, having performed research myself I can first tell you 1000 people in one country (BBC link) with vaguely defined operational variables and lack of true randomization this study is no better than the meta analysis performed by Lancet a few years back where they found the first causal link between marijuana use and schizophrenia in persons without a family history of the disease.
As someone who has smoke plenty of pot over many years and written a Brain and Behavior paper (15 pages) on the effects of marijuana on the nervous systems and other systems-- there can be temporary short term memory loss and munchies
A small subset of people with schizoid tendencies or schizophrenia and certain other mental disorders can be more susceptible to paranoia and it is also environment dependent. Do not trust the environment you are in and getting high may amplify that.

Funny enough Jcb I wrote a paper for Cell biology, in part, dealing with canabinoid receptors G-proteins and G-protein couple receptors while activating said pathways with weed...the paper was entitited From development to marijuana use-a survey of the many roles of heterotrimeric G-proteins and their receptors---got an 'A' of course
you and I are kindred spirits it seems...
this tread is making me want a nice blunt, I had better stop now...
