Are Marijuana Smokers Really Stupid?


In many cases, smoking marijuana is associated with mental slowing and some children's behavior, but you really are stupid smokers of cannabis or simply adapt to a stereotype?

If you tend to act foolishly or clarifying aspects of life after children smoke a joint, most likely you are not stupid but unconsciously you adjust your behavior to certain cultural stereotypes in relation to this activity. Undeniably there are some biochemical effects following consumption of THC (the active ingredient in marijuana). Red eyes, cheerful attitude and a certain slowness, are part of this effect. However, the cultural translation of these effects has been drawing a clumsy personality, even stupid, some ganja smokers or English are called "potheads."

A study by Mitch Earleywine, a psychology professor at the University of Albany, and published in the journal Addictive Behaviors, found that smokers of marijuana have a willingness to act stupid like that in his unconscious "cultural" there is a strong association between consumption of grass and this pattern of behavior. Beyond the tangible effects on a person's memory, especially during the effects of THC have not really tested negative consequences cognitvo level, long-term marijuana smokers.

Earleywine and his colleagues studied 57 smokers of marijuana, 30 men and 27 women. Half were given a reading that suggested that marijuana damages the brain. In contrast, the other half received a document which states that this plant has no adverse effects within the cognitive abilities. After all participants had to take a test after at least 24 hours of not smoking cannabis. The results were surprising because in the case of men, they were significantly influenced by the type of reading that had been assigned. Encambio women showed better skills when they were faced with the stereotype and somehow struggled to break the stigma and succeeded.

This concludes, according to researchers, men are much more susceptible to bias against cultural stereotypes even adapting their conduct to them. Maybe that's why we have never seen the cliché of a marijuana smoker represented by a woman. Always are men more vulnerable to fit these stereotypes, sometimes behave as if they were stupid when they smoke marijuana, but really are not. Does it?
