> Auer and his team measured lifetime marijuana exposure in a fantastic new unit of measurement they call "marijuana-years." Essentially, if you smoke pot every day for a year, that equals one marijuana-year of use. Ditto if you smoke every other day for two years, or once a week for seven years. That sounds highly suspect. Interesting study though - the original is linked below for anyone that has access or cares to buy it (bugs me no end that I have to google for the source from articles like this) https://archinte.jamanetwork.com/article.aspx?articleid=2484... |

>> Few people actually smoke this much pot. Among the 3,385 study subjects, only 311 (8 percent) had more than five marijuana-years of exposure.
The article makes an assumption about how much one's memory would be affected by 45 years of smoking... but if only 311 participants have smoked for even 5 years, it is logically unsound to even pretend to extrapolate that to 45 years.
Why do studies (or perhaps the study itself makes none of these conclusions, and it's just the article) try to overreach on their conclusions? :/
