I'll wait for the peer review process and duplicate studies before I make up my mind on this one. Unfortunately, even if the results are refuted, the history of bad research in the service of bad policy is a long one.
Let us not forget that excess alcohol and tobbacco harms the brain as well, and I'm a rather light smoker (a couple times a month) so I'm personally not that worried.
As the article says:
"These were people who were essentially stoned all day every day for 20 years," Marijuana Policy Project spokesman Bruce Mirken said by e-mail. "This study says nothing about moderate or occasional users, who are the vast majority -- and the (study) even acknowledges this. . .The documented damage caused by comparably heavy use of alcohol or tobacco is just off-the-charts more serious, and you don't need high-tech scans to find it."
