Marijuana greatly reduces your brain's ability to function

Quote:
Not surprisingly, marijuana intoxication can cause distorted perceptions, impaired coordination, difficulty with thinking and problem solving, and problems with learning and memory. Research has shown that, in chronic users, marijuana's adverse impact on learning and memory can last for days or weeks after the acute effects of the drug wear off. As a result, someone who smokes marijuana every day may be functioning at a suboptimal intellectual level all of the time.

For the record, I do not use marijuana but have no objection towards legalization/decriminalization. For the purpose of a debate, I figured I'd present some counter-arguments.

There have been plenty of studies either way, by many different groups and scientists. That doesn't make any of them right necessarily. Most of the people funding them have some kind of an agenda. Obviously there are health risks, but they still pale in comparison to the risks of most medicines on the market, especially just the overdose factor.

It can't be any worse for you than cigarettes or alcohol though.
