Men with higher IQs are 50 percent more likely to use amphetamines and ecstasy as adults.
These new findings come from a U.K. study of nearly 8,000 people born in 1970. Researchers measured each test subject’s IQ at ages 5 and 10 and asked a series of questions about psychological problems and drug use at ages 16 and 30. Their findings were consistent even when other factors such as social and economic status were taken into account.
