Fuzzy Math

The results are in from another helpful RAND study on the effects of marijuana. The study compared standardized test scores from pot smokers and from those who spurned the evil weed. It turns out, if you?re a ?poet? or a ?literary type? you?re good to go. But users had 15 percent lower math scores. The RAND rep assumes the worst:

It makes a lot of sense that it (marijuana) would affect certain types of cognitive functioning, particularly things that are hard to grasp like math.

Since when is math harder to grasp than poetry? (The speaker is an economist.) If this study proves anything at all, it?s that ?literary types? are more drawn to the stuff in the first place.
