I can't take a newsflash seriously if they don't even link to the original study.

Are the socioeconomic levels of these higher IQ individuals controlled? How exactly did they select their sample for the study? And they mentioned marijuana, cocaine, heroine in one breath, as though those are the same drug. Surely different population groups use those drugs to different extents.

Also, "A high IQ is defined as a score between 107 and 158."

Is that standard? Isn't that about 1/2 to 4 standard deviations on IQ charts? Seems like a wide range.
