You have the power to search for "cannabis iq" and find the literature.

Generally I expect some basic scientific literacy on HN. But of course I should have learned by now to expect science denialism when ego is at stake.

If you want a concrete source look at any of the studies that cite the twin studies, including the meta-analysis from this year.

Scientific American is not a peer reviewed publication. They are science journalism and they aren't even particularly careful about their analysis. They posted an article in 2017 claiming cannabis might make you smarter:

They might be right about "makes you smarter". I mean, here you are complaining that SA isn't "peer reviewed", which is pretty stupid because they're publishing the results of studies done by others, not doing or controlling them.

Ha. I honestly don't think I've ever seen such a childish response on HN.
