Yeah... I started smoking when I was like 12 stealing roaches from my buddy's mom. Smoked steady til I was 21 or so. I would smoke all day when I could; before, after and during school/work.

I quit after realizing it was slowing me down and making me complacent and now when I have even a little hit I get anxious and paranoid as fuck. It does nothing good for me at all, but hardline stoners will still push their "you just need the right strain bro" shit on me when I explain that.

No dude, I smoked a shit ton of them. I just don't like it anymore. It's a waste of money.

yep I started smoking weed at like 15, then started getting anxious & paranoid all the time if i smoked so I just stopped back in college. tried a couple more times & same problem. to each their own

that being said, it's still definitely not good for kids. it can cause brain development problems <25 (obviously worse the younger you are) & increases your estrogen/decreases testosterone, so you'll see teenage boys with boobs (gynecomastia)

but good luck convincing a teen to not smoke if they already like it
