Ha not really, but an interesting study nonetheless:

http://thechart.blogs.cnn.com/2011/11/1 ... ?hpt=hp_t2

Quote:
The "Just Say No" generation was often told by parents and teachers that intelligent people didn't use drugs. Turns out, the adults may have been wrong.

A new British study finds children with high IQs are more likely to use drugs as adults than people who score low on IQ tests as children. The data come from the 1970 British Cohort Study, which has been following thousands of people over decades. The kids' IQs were tested at the ages of 5, 10 and 16. The study also asked about drug use and looked at education and other socioeconomic factors. Then when participants turned 30, they were asked whether they had used drugs such as marijuana, cocaine and heroin in the past year.

you mean smart kids are more likely to think they know better than their parents.

Correlation vs causation

It could mean that more intelligent people are more likely to be curious about drugs.
It could mean that more intelligent people live with more pain and stress (and are thus inclined to turn to drugs for relief).
It could mean that more intelligent people have more money to spend on drugs.

It is most unlikely, however, that people who say "no" to drugs are therefore less intelligent...or that people who use drugs for purely hedonistic reasons are therefore more intelligent.

Also, there is a positive correlation between exposure to fog and malaria.

Now I see.

Stupid people who do drugs don't make it to 30, because they died when they thought they were Spider Man and started leaping across buildings.
