NBC misrepresenting information:

Problem Source:
Marijuana worse for teen brains than alcohol, study finds

Apparently, they don't even know how to read their own reference. I guess they were hoping no one else would either.

Solution Source:
Association of Cannabis With Cognitive Functioning in Adolescents and Young Adults

"Conclusions and Relevance: Associations between cannabis use and cognitive functioning in cross-sectional studies of adolescents and young adults are small and may be of questionable clinical importance for most individuals. Furthermore, abstinence of longer than 72 hours diminishes cognitive deficits associated with cannabis use. Although other outcomes (eg, psychosis) were not examined in the included studies, results indicate that previous studies of cannabis in youth may have overstated the magnitude and persistence of cognitive deficits associated with use. Reported deficits may reflect residual effects from acute use or withdrawal. Future studies should examine individual differences in susceptibility to cannabis-associated cognitive dysfunction."

There are several articles within the last couple of days claiming that cannabis use is more dangerous to teen brains than alcohol. According to NBC's own reference, that could not be further from the truth. Please share.
