The system you probably saw is based on a Wacom digitizer added to a normal capacitive touchscreen. So the stylus is not using the touchscreen but a Wacom digitizer while switching of the touchscreen gesture recognition while being in use. No need to ape a human finger and thus more precise and smaller.
There are also bugfixes available in newer versions. Don't forget about that.
Stock Gingerbread 2.3.7 ran flawlessly on my mytouch 4G slide (aka HTC Doubleshot). However, the unsupported Cyanogenmod 9.0/1 based on IceCreamSandwich 4.0 both had huge problems with wifi - WPA Enterprise not remembering credentials and the sleep mode during screen-off disconnecting my phone from my wifi network at home. Very annoying especially with a limited data plan. An alpha from the XDA forums for Cyanogenmod 10 which means Jelly Bean 4.1 fixed these problems completely. Now my phone is stable. On an alpha. Granted, I only encountered problems with an unsupported version but other people might not be so lucky. They could be stuck with a stock ICS that does not work with WPA Enterprise without the possibility to upgrade to Jelly Bean. There are open bug reports about WPA Enterprise not working on ICS.
I have to admit that I'm just back to the previous level of functionality compared to Gingerbread but I also got a better GMail App with Jelly Bean and a smoother UI. Not essential but still nice.
Please check out the following pretty convincing study:

Persistent cannabis use was associated with neuropsychological decline broadly across domains of functioning, even after controlling for years of education. Informants also reported noticing more cognitive problems for persistent cannabis users. Impairment was concentrated among adolescent-onset cannabis users, with more persistent use associated with greater decline. Further, cessation of cannabis use did not fully restore neuropsychological functioning among adolescent-onset cannabis users. Findings are suggestive of a neurotoxic effect of cannabis on the adolescent brain and highlight the importance of prevention and policy efforts targeting adolescents.
How about the Netherlands? That should make for a nice location for such a study with pot being legal over there. Btw over 1000 participants.
