I'm all for complete drug legalisation, but I wouldn't be opposed to an age restriction either. Marijuana does have negative effects on adolescent minds.. although I'm still torn on the issue. If they aren't legally adults, should it be left to their parents? Should the freedom of being able to do whatever you want with your body override the benefits of letting adolescent minds develop normally? Don't know.

Also abuse of any substance will have undesirable effects on the mind of someone of any age.

Yes, of course. But for marijuana specifically, it can alter the brain's mechanics for the rest a person's life. Not saying that that should mean minors shouldn't be able to use it, but it wouldn't be, you know, unreasonable.

six joints a day is a LOT dude

You're certainly correct. Is that supposed to mean anything besides that those whose brains displayed abnormalities in this particular study were extreme cases? That's a valid point but it doesn't exactly alter the conclusions of the study. And it does nothing to address the other two articles.
