Lacking in pep? Looking for some extra zing as winter sets in? The Spectator recommends our energy conference on 1 December. Tickets are still available, sign up here.
I don’t want this to become the ‘Tom Tells You To Get High’ blog, so this will be the last time I write about cannabis for awhile, I promise. Unless there’s something interesting in the news about it again.
Anyway, pass the dutchie on the left-hand side and all that. The Daily Mail, the BBC and the Telegraph report that teenagers who smoke cannabis regularly do worse in their exams. Per the Mail:
‘The findings. . . add to a growing weight of evidence that suggests cannabis is more harmful than legalisation campaigners would have us believe’.
They’re half right. Teenagers who smoke cannabis regularly do tend to do worse in their exams.
