Indeed. There was no stopping me at 16 tho. School drug education was a total joke and i sincerely believed weed was the only reason i graduated at all and didn't go on a murderous rampage instead.
Yeah, they blanketed all drugs as being bad all the time, so I didn't listen to a word they said.
Maybe if they were a little more truthful about drugs I would've actually listened.
your sig is glorious. Just sayin.

Glad I didn't smoke till 19 but I don't think it makes a big difference. Look at all the superstars in business, academia, and the arts/entertainment industry who were teenage tokers!

Nope, sorry. Saw the title and my eyes hurt looking at the block of text, lol.
Yeah such a small amount of people from each category is hardly a broad enough group of people to get definitive results.

I smoked nearly every day from the time I was like 11 'til I was 19.
It definitely affected me a lot. Idk if you would really call it brain damage, but it did change how my brain worked.
It took 2 years of taking breaks and only smoking occasionally to get back to what I feel is baseline.
It mainly affected my emotions though.

Everything in moderation for sure. But, i think it's hard to tell how much MJ is too much.
It's so easy to be a functional pothead that IDK how to find my healthy amount of marijuana. Something that gives you enjoyment while letting you get your shit done (most of the time, at least if you actually try) and is basically impossible to OD with. It makes music and comedy 20x better why would you not want to be high everyday + for me, my social anxiety has improved significantly since I've started smoking, due to many factors but I'm sure MJ has a hand in that.
I have noticed a drop in my memory though, but then i smoke another bowl and forget that I was worrying about my usage I need to take a long break so I can evaluate it all with a clear head, but all of my close friends smoke so i can't really escape it without hiding in my room.

I'm not really sure...
It was like when I smoked I was emotional, not really in a bad way though. I actually felt things, like I cried when something was sad, laughed when something was funny, had all the normal emotions you know, they were just really strong/intensified. I liked it though.
But what I didn't like is when I stopped smoking, I was almost void of any emotion, I hated it. I couldn't really feel things. That lasted through months of abstinence, then a year+ of occasional smoking, when I did smoke I could feel emotions, but when I didn't smoke in a few days I couldn't.
Finally I am starting to have a little bit of emotions, but they're not nearly as strong as I'd like.
That's not the only problem I encountered, but that is one of the main ones.

Not trying to flame or anything, but were you neglected/abused growing up? I don't think marijuana would cause you to have a complete lack of emotion. Unless I am far underestimating the effects on a growing kid. This just seems like an issue where something else is at play, and the herb is a scapegoat of sorts that your mind has focused on.

Lol, no.
It is definitely correlated to marijuana, I can tell by how I feel being proportional to how long it's been since I've smoked marijuana.

That's interesting. Maybe it messed with the reward center of your brain a ton during development. IDK I am certainly not a scientist.
At least you're starting to feel a bit better now

Yeah, to be fair it was more my fault than marijuana's fault.
I abused it for an extended period of time, I mean what can you really expect.
I was spending more money on weed than most heroin addicts spend on heroin there for a while.
My life revolved around marijuana for a very very long time.

I would say it probably had a lot too do with your diet. did you have a hobby? A productive one anywayz, video games don't count.
Did you do other drugs?
I ask because I'm 23 and been smoking for 12 years and I have experienced none of that
I have abstained for 6+ months and felt totally normal after 3-5 days with good diet and exercise. . If I eat junk food I feel lethargic and unimterested in life.
