Meetup report: How harmful is cannabis, and will you change your habits?
Cruzc0913y30

Also, marijuana severely decreases motivation and level of motivation has been correlated with IQ. With frequent usage of any drug, I would say it would modify behavior. This is to say, if you get hi a lot, it probably would modify your normal behavior just from the basis of habitual formations. Am I correct to assume this?

There could also be self-fulfilling prophesies in the taking of the exam. Telling a guy, "You're a stoner, so we want you to taken an IQ test" probably does something to the test takers perception of himself/herself.
