<p>&ldquo;We already have enough people with low IQs, we don&rsquo;t need to be generating more,&rdquo; said GOP presidential hopeful Ben Carson at a Florida event this Monday. The retired neurosurgeon told reporters that he is against legalizing recreational marijuana because it makes people stupid.</p>
<p>Carson paid a visit to Tallahassee, Florida this week to promote his book<em> A More Perfect Union: What we the people can do to reclaim our constitutional liberties. ;</em>While he was signing copies of the book, reporters from Capitol News Service asked him about his stance on recreational marijuana. ;</p>
<p>&ldquo;Medical marijuana, when it&rsquo;s done in the proper way and the proper form, can be very beneficial, particularly with patients with seizure disorders,&rdquo; said the former neurosurgeon. But as to the drug&rsquo;s recreational use, Carson says no: &ldquo;Many studies have demonstrated that persistent regular use of marijuana by the developing brain can result in significant decreases in IQ,&rdquo; said Carson.</p>
<p>&ldquo;That&rsquo;s as far as the retired neurosurgeon would go on the topic,&rdquo; states Capitol News Service. &ldquo;He said no to the idea of recreational use.&rdquo; ;</p>
