About this listen

Cannabis has long been accused of robbing consumers of their intelligence. Reinforced by stoner stereotypes in movies and TV, this claim has morphed into terms like "a-motivational syndrome" and "the developing brain". Is there any truth the the connection between cannabis use and intelligence? Carl Sagan, Rick Steves and others would say no, and yet, this is still used as a talking point to discourage legalization. In this episode, we explore the history of the weed = stupidity claim, and how it presents in today's world. We'll get into the research, and, as always, provide a balanced view.
