What can impair intelligence?

[boondockbabe]

Even in moderation, any benefits from alcohol remain questionable. Alcohol shortens dendrites, hampers memory, and is generally neurotoxic.

If one is going to do anything in moderation, one should opt for marijuana. You will sleep more soundly, enjoy sex and music more, be more relaxed, and think differently.

Alcohol, on the other hand, offers an ephemeral buzz where you can't think properly along with a grating headache the next day.

If you somehow are lucky enough to avoid the grating headache, then your thoughts and emotions will be polluted the next day, and you'll probably have a spastic colon, anxiety, and heart palpitations.

This may seem one sided, but so goes feelings the next day with either substance.

So would you say marijuana impairs intelligence or does it alter it?

Not having enough in the way of different experiences would impair intelligence, I guess.

Not having enough in the way of different experiences would impair intelligence, I guess.

That's the cardinal reason why I might drop out of grad school, after a year of good grades.
