Yeah... that's not how marijuana works.

not too far off... pot opens your mind to other ways of interpreting things. Totally makes one more likely to question what one's being told/taught.

I find the opposite though, they don't think of anything critically other than the (((games))) and (((entertainment media))) they consume while high. They collect welfare, pass it to their dealer, spend the rest on junk food and tell you to chill out if you want them to stop.

low IQ people who would do that anyway?

I've met hundreds (maybe thousands) of pot-smokers and the overwhelming majority are very successful and intelligent. (of course to be fair, most of the people with whom I have more than a superficial interaction are usually successful and intelligent)

I agree, IQ has more to do with capacity to think critically than pot or not.

but the pot (in someone capable of critical thought) encourages additional criticism.... Additional angles from which one wouldn't naturally perceive things. In my opinion both cannabis and natural psychedelics are very beneficial tools. I've smoked pounds and pounds of cannabis in my day and tripped probably 100 times between mushrooms, acid, dmt abd dxm and everyone I met who pursued the latter substances possessed at least superior if not genius intelligence.
