I don't understand what you mean. Are you saying that: Young people in their formative years who are high while taking a math test will probably score lower than young people in a test group who are not high while taking the same test? I agree that that is probably true. It is probably true for other cross sections of the population, as well, including adults.
But, I'm not sure what exactly it is that you are pointing out here. Are you saying that performing certain tasks, such as, taking a math test while high on marijuana, is not advised? Or, are you saying, for example, that mild to moderate use, even from a year previous to a math test, will negatively impact math scores by youth in their formative years? If so, are their studies supporting your claim?
Let me be clear: I am not suggesting that anyone (youth in their formative years or otherwise) should use cannabis for non-medicinal purposes. I don't think anyone who has replied to this topic has made that suggestion because that is not what we are talking about.
