7:15 am
making part of the brain. what's interesting is, there's more action out of that area. and the more structural changes that happen the younger they start. but after sevix or seven years those structural changes go away. >> so did they already have a smaller frontal lobe or did the marijuana shrink their brain? >> that's a key study. a questionnaire of people who used marijuana versus those who did not, they looked at those. marijuana say class one narcotic. it's difficult to do a study. that part needs to change so we can study it. >> you know, dr. david agus here in new york city, they just announce they had would no longer be arresting people caught with small amounts of marijuana. it became legal in additional states. do you think it could have an impact on public policy? >> no question. i feel like i should be holding
7:16 am
up a bag of oregano when i answer this. but there's no question, a study like this, really puts into our heads there are changes in the brain especially young people when they use marijuana. i think it's somewhat premature to go forward with this legislation. again, i'm not a policy expert but i think we need more studies to understand that. i'm afraid after deing data like this what could happen. >> what would you need to know before you would recommend medicinal marijuana? >> two things. i want to follow people before and after they use marijuana to show that the changes in the brain are actually subject to marijuana use. people who used marijuana had a significantly lower i.q. than people who didn't, and again we want to follow that over time. >> david agus, important information. thank you so much. 15 missing hikers in california are safe this morning. they spent sunday morning in the san gabriel mountains.
