UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA STUDY LINKS TEEN CANNABIS USE TO SUDDEN REALIZATION THAT PHYSICS IS 'JUST AN OPINION'

The massive study suggests that high schoolers who consume marijuana are 400% more likely to believe the law of gravity is a suggestion written by guys who didn't get invited to parties.
""We found that by the third hit, most 16-year-olds can no longer identify a triangle as a shape, but can explain exactly why the color purple smells like a divorce," said Dr. Hams." — KEY SLUDGE FINDING
A comprehensive study released by UC San Diego today has sent shockwaves through the educational community, confirming that prolonged cannabis use in adolescents leads directly to a total cognitive rejection of the physical world. While previous research focused on memory loss, this new data suggests that teens are not just forgetting facts, but are actively replacing the fundamental laws of the universe with what researchers call "high-concept nonsense poetry."
Dr. Barnaby Hams, the Lead Under-Consultant for Youthful Bewilderment, noted that the cognitive development of the test subjects didn't just slow down—it took a sharp left turn into a dimension where time is measured in snacks rather than seconds. "We asked a group of honor students to solve a basic calculus equation after light usage," Dr. Hams explained. "Six of them tried to eat the chalkboard, and the seventh spent forty minutes explaining that the number eight is just a zero wearing a belt too tight."
The study, which followed 4,000 teens over three years, found that the 'stoner brain' essentially treats reality as a rough draft. Researchers observed that subjects who used cannabis twice weekly began to view complex biology textbooks as "aggressive vibes curated by the state." One participant reportedly refused to attend chemistry class because he claimed the periodic table was "gatekeeping the elements" and that gold should be free to be whatever it wants to be, including a gas.
Academic performance plummeted not because of a loss of IQ, but because of a newfound commitment to being technically correct in ways that are useless to society. "A student in our control group was asked about the American Revolution," said school psychologist Linda Vex. "Instead of discussing the Stamp Act, he argued for twenty minutes that George Washington was actually a holographic projection created by the French to sell more wigs. He wasn't wrong in his own mind; he was just functioning on a level of consciousness that prevents him from ever holding a job at a bank."
The UC San Diego report concludes with a warning to parents: if your child begins to describe the sound of a ceiling fan as a 'conspiracy of wind,' or if they start trying to pay for laundry with 'positive intent,' their cognitive development has likely been swapped for a permanent state of wonder that is incompatible with the 2026 job market. The university is now seeking funding for a follow-up study to determine if Dorito dust has its own unique gravitational pull.
