      Using empirical research to inform policy decisions is difficult. [thread] This article argues that cannabis should be restricted for people aged < 25, bc a study finds that adolescent cannabis consumption is assoc w/ a reduction in IQ in adulthood https://www.nytimes.com/2019/06/16/opinion/marijuana-brain-effects.html … BUT

      the study https://www.pnas.org/content/pnas/early/2012/08/22/1206820109.full.pdf … only controls for years of edu, sex & childhd IQ… For schizophrenia, assoc w both cannabis consumption & IQ declines in adulthood https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3947263/ … they simply excluded the 28 ppl w SCZ diagnoses - a rather blunt way to test confoundingpic.twitter.com/SNXwKddJ61

      Most importantly, *even if* there was a causal assoc b/e cannabis & IQ decline, it doesn't follow that cannabis should be prohibited: Prohibition could cause all sorts of effects, e.g. ⬆️ crime, ⬆️ THC content – the opposite of what you'd want if there was a causal relationship.pic.twitter.com/EQ6gMWYXcq

      It's wrong to jump from evidence that X is bad --> X should be restricted, not only bc research findings can be contradictory or difficult to interpret. Policies aiming to target behaviours vary - some might be poorly designed, have unknown effects or clash with other values.

      Yet it's still common for studies that investigate individual behaviours to have conclusions related to policy decisions. That's not good - empirical research matters but IMO insufficient for decisions w/o evidence on policy itself, or without reasoning or judgments about values.
