Donald Trump is apparently not a fan of marijuana.

In a newly released private recording, Trump was heard saying that using marijuana makes people “lose IQ points,” which is not true.

The conversation took place at the Trump International Hotel in Washington, DC. Several other people were in the room with Trump and Parnas at the time. This all happened despite Trump repeatedly saying he doesn’t know Parnas.

“In Colorado they have more accidents,” the president said in the clip captured by Lev Parnas, an associate of Trump attorney Rudolph Giuliani, who is at the center of the Ukraine scandal that led to the president’s impeachment. “It does cause an IQ problem.”

Parnas first broached the topic of cannabis by asking Trump about state-legal marijuana businesses’ lack of access to banking services.

“Cannabis, look, you’re talking about marijuana, right?” the president replied. “You can’t do banking there?”

“That’s the biggest problem, because none of the banks accept the money,” Parnas explained.

Trump then said that the issue is “all working out. That whole thing is working out.”

“I don’t know if that’s a good thing or a bad thing,” he added.

The private captured video of the April 2018 dinner conversation was released by Parnas’s attorney Joseph Bondy, who separately is a lead attorney in a lawsuit challenging marijuana’s restrictive status under federal law.

Trump could also be heard in the newly released recording asking a number of questions, such as, “Do you think the whole marijuana thing is a good thing?” and, “But it’s actually good for opioids?”

One dinner attendee replied to the latter query by saying that cannabis is a “better alternative” to prescription painkillers.

Donald Trump Jr. could be heard telling his father that “alcohol does much more damage” than marijuana.

“You don’t see people beating their wives on marijuana,” the younger Trump said. “It’s just different.”

Regarding marijuana’s effect on IQ, a 2013 New Zealand study reported a decline in IQ among teenaged users, but added that socioeconomic factors should also be considered. A year later, a study at University College of London concluded that “even heavy marijuana use wasn’t associated with IQ” and said alcohol use, not marijuana, “was found to be strongly associated with IQ decline.”

As far a automobile accidents under the influence of marijuana in Colorado, NIDA has said that “the role played by marijuana in [traffic] accidents is often unclear, because it can remain detectable in body fluids for days or even weeks after intoxication and because users frequently combine it with alcohol.”
