To such conclusion the British scientists from Cardiff University on the basis of the analysis of data from more than eight thousand people. All subjects were born in one week in April 1970 and included the birth of the British cohort study, implying lifelong health surveillance.
All participants had passed the test for IQ at age 5 and 10 years. And in the 16 and 30 years, among them the anonymous survey was conducted on the subject of drug use.
It turned out that at a young age have tried marijuana 7% of boys and 6, 3 per cent of girls. By age 30, this figure reached 35, 4 per cent for men and 15, 9 per cent for women. And most used drugs are those who have IQ score was above average.
Scientists have suggested that this is due to the fact that more intelligent people have an increased interest in new experiences and sensations. It may also be due to lack of understanding and alienation from peers, as well as the usual boredom.
