Ur welcome. One ex football player who doesn't have his facts straight and doesn't know the difference between use and abuse of MMJ is Mark Brunell.
“There’s really no place for marijuana in the NFL,” Brunell said. “It is harmful. It hurts brain function. It hurts brain development. Marijuana can ruin lives. I’m very much against it.”

1. Heavy Marijuana Use Doesn't Kill Brain Cells.

2. Lower IQ in heavy Marijuana use in kids was found in one study. However,
........Follow up analysis of this study suggests socioeconomic factors may play a role.
"Instead, Ole Rogeberg, a labor economist at the Frisch Center in Norway, used a computer simulation to show that, in theory, the same IQ effects could be explained by socioeconomic factors that cause IQ-decreasing behaviors."

........Furthermore, decline was found in verbal IQ but not in non-verbal IQ. Subjects were out of school 20 years. Maybe they didn't read as much?
"The group of regular users did indeed show a statistically significant decline in test scores on Vocabulary, Similarities, Information and Full Scale IQ which is heavily correlated with these verbal tests. However, the much more surprising thing is that the non-verbal scales, such as Arithmetic, Block design, and Picture Completion showed no statistically significant decline."

3. And a new study out of the U.K. indicates that people who start out life with high IQs tend to end up experimenting with drugs, marijuana chief among them.
