      This is correlation not causation. You could say the same about the effect of iq of kids that masterbate more often or eat unhealthy food or eat glue more often have 10 Pts lower iq. Smarter kids are less likely to be in proximity of weed in HS, doesn’t mean anything.

      Nope. Longitudinal studies can't reveal causation unless they do random assignment or include twin/family design that can control for genetic confounds.

      The study followed individuals for over 20 years, testing their IQ at 13, and then in their 30s

      Kids with genes that cause them to have slower growth in intelligence between 13 and 30 might be more predisposed to take drugs. Causation has not been proved.

      IQ is remarkably stable throughout your life, even from childhood – please try and get up to speed before muddying the waters any further

      IQ is quite stable, but heritability increases until early 20s, and developmental behavior genetics shows new genetic influences affect IQ in adolescence & young adulthood.

          When people say heritability increases, it confuses me. Does that mean the expression of IQ changes and trends towards the heritable mean of the parents, despite being higher or lower earlier? It sounds like you get new genetic material or new genes come online, otherwise.

          I think it's because genes come online, and people have more control over their environment as they get older so the environment you were born into has less impact and the environment your genes "want" has more.
