Young people who smoke cannabis run the risk of a significant and irreversible reduction in their IQ, research suggests.

The findings come from a study of around 1,000 people in New Zealand.

An international team found those who started using cannabis below the age of 18 - while their brains were still developing - suffered a drop in IQ.

A UK expert said the research might explain why people who use the drug often seem to under-achieve.

Totally, god knows how clever I'd be now if I hadn't smoked as a youth.

Seriously though, psychoactive drugs - Not for developing humans.

I think when someone gets to about 60, they should start experimenting with drugs. It will help to deal with the crap music the youth come up
