A recent study found that teen brains are more vulnerable to the effects of marijuana than alcohol. And in June, University of Pennsylvania scientists discovered that young people who used marijuana frequently were more likely than nonusers to have slightly lower scores on tests of memory, learning new information, and higher-level problem solving and information processing.
According to the most recent data released by the National Institute on Drug Abuse, 32.6 percent of 10th graders reported using marijuana at least once during their lifetime.

Normally, I'm not a big fan of scientific studies from universities and especially when published by NBC News. But, it this study is even close to the truth it sort of puts to bed the theory(by stoners) the the ganja is no different than drinking a beer.
